August Is Go Time!
Welcome to a brand-new school year! August is here, and that means one thing—it’s GO TIME! 💥 Whether you’re a returning board member or stepping into your very first PTA role, this is the month when we put plans into motion, welcome new families, and set the tone for a successful, impactful year ahead.
Many of you have already been working behind the scenes this summer—planning, budgeting, training, and organizing—and I want to take a moment to thank you for all the effort you’ve put in to ensure your PTA starts strong. Your dedication is what makes Plano PTAs thrive and continue to serve every child with one voice. 💙
🎯 This Month’s Focus: CONNECTION
As students fill the hallways again and families return to campus, let’s lean into the power of connection. Use your first membership meeting of the year as a moment to energize your school community. Whether it’s paired with a family event, a back-to-school night, or a breakfast for your staff—make it welcoming, inclusive, and informative. This is your chance to share the “why” behind PTA and invite new faces to get involved.
📱 Lights, Camera, PTA!
Let’s make this the year we celebrate and amplify the work you’re doing in real time. Share your first membership meeting on social media—snap photos, post a quick video, or even go live for a few minutes. Show the smiling faces, the school spirit, the popcorn machine, the volunteers in action. Highlight your theme, your goals, or that creative way you’re boosting membership. And don’t forget to tag us so we can share and celebrate right alongside you!
✨ When we share our work, we inspire others to step forward, join, and contribute.
🔁 Be sure to follow the Plano ISD Council of PTAs on Facebook and Instagram for tips, templates, reminders, and spotlight opportunities all year long.
💬 As always, if you have questions, ideas, or need support—reach out. We are here to walk with you, cheer you on, and help you make the most of this year.
With gratitude and excitement,
Jeri Duncan
President, Plano ISD Council of PTAs

Volunteers Make a Difference—Every Year
Each school year, Plano ISD requires all volunteers—whether new or returning—to complete a background check and register through the district’s volunteer system. This process must be done annually and is now open.
🎯 To get started or renew your status, visit plano.voly.org. For more information, visit www.pisd.edu/community-10/volunteering-partnering/volunteer-application.
Volunteers play a vital role in supporting students, teachers, and school communities. Whether it's helping in the classroom, organizing events, or doing behind-the-scenes work, every contribution matters.
When volunteers feel welcomed, appreciated, and informed, they’re more likely to stay involved—and their impact grows. A few hours, a warm smile, or a willingness to jump in can make all the difference.
🧡 One registered volunteer at a time, we build stronger schools together.
