THE VALUE OF PTA MEMBERSHIP

Three decades of research proves that students achieve higher grades, have better attendance and more consistently complete homework when parents are involved – and just the act of joining PTA is a great way to get involved.

PTA helps ensure that parents have a seat at the table when important decisions that affect schools are made. PTA works together to improve the education, health and safety of all children.

Become a member of the nation's largest and most powerful children's advocacy association in the country.
