One of the greatest benefits of joining PTA is that it helps teachers to understand students from the parent's perspective and vice versa. It helps parents to know all about the functioning of the school, problems and so on. It works towards making the school better and the best place to get a quality education.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I join PTA? Joining PTA benefits both your child and the school. PTA events are opportunities to meet other parents and teachers, building rapport, and discuss ideas or concerns.
When are meetings? Meetings are held once a month. Meetings are in the evening on zoom, so you can join while at soccer practice, cooking dinner, etc.
How can I volunteer? We have something for everybody! You are welcome to do as little or as much as you like. Here's a list of some ways you can help out: Join a committee (ex: Yearbook, PTA Association Meetings, Spirit Gear, Fall Picnic, etc.), help setup at events, morning crosswalk duty, make copies, and so many other ways!
Can I only volunteer on-campus? Nope! There are many ways you can participate in the pockets of your time from home. Are you good with technology? Are you able to book restaurant nights? Do you have connections in the community? Reach out to us and we can definitely find a way for you to help.
Don't see your question? Fill out the PTA Questions Form and we will get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you!
