FAQs

What are the benefits of joining PTA?

There are many advantages of joining the PTA! It provides a wonderful opportunity to connect and collaborate with community members who share our dedication to WMS students and staff. Research shows that participating in your child's school and showing engagement helps them perform better academically. Our PTA puts on programs and events that bring our school together as a community and enrich learning. As a member of the WMS PTA, you’ll receive information from local, State and Federal levels on how we can advocate and influence legislators on behalf of children, families and schools.

What is expected of me as a member?

We strongly encourage all members to attend our monthly meetings, actively participate in voting, and volunteer their time. Additionally, we hope you’ll consider joining any of our committees, where you can contribute and assist in areas where help is needed. Your involvement and support are vital to the success of our PTA and the positive impact we can make for the WMS community.

What happens at a PTA meeting?

During our monthly meetings, we engage in discussions about past and upcoming events, fundraisers, and activities.

We understand the demand of busy lives and want to create a welcoming and accommodating environment for all.
