Membership

Promote PTA Involvement

The goal of membership in the PTSA is to build an informed team of individuals working on behalf of all children and youth. Members’ involvement and programs are each a part of an ongoing process of strengthening your PTSA. An involved PTSA membership is a valuable resource that will help you start and maintain programs and projects to benefit children and the community. Meaningful programs make PTSA membership and active involvement worthwhile.

YOU can lead the way to a good start!

The level of enthusiasm and PTSA knowledge that you, as a PTSA leader, are able to provide to your PTSA will have a ripple effect throughout your membership. Your active leadership will help create strong programs in your school community and strong commitment among members. Retaining existing members and attracting new members is one of the most important duties of a PTSA -- for nothing can happen without members! A strong membership is essential for PTSA to continue to be a force in the decision-making process that affects the welfare and education of children and youth.

YOUR LOCAL PTSA is the key communication link between parents, teachers, school administrators and the community.

An active, progressive local PTSA unit has the ability and responsibility to make things happen! You can do this by reporting children’s concerns to school boards, to agencies, to parents, teachers, and the community; through newsletters, meetings, workshops, phone trees and much more.

YOUR COMMUNITY is the PTSA’s backyard – work with it and you will benefit.

PTSA involvement is not limited to parents, teachers and students. An open door policy should be established with local business, places of worship, service organizations (Kiwanis, Rotary), and government agencies such as your health or police departments as well as with other youth and community service groups. Building these relationships will assist overall community efforts to expand parent and community involvement. Your community has senior citizens and other sources of volunteers who can benefit your local PTSA. But, someone must ask for their help and offer specific opportunities for their contributions.
