What is PTA?

The Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) is a not-for-profit organization in Plano ISD, throughout Texas, and across the United States of America.

PTA and the Community

The local PTA is the glue that connects Parents, Teachers and Students with our Community.

Our PTAs offer a sense of fellowship at the school campus level that continues throughout the association as parents, educators and community leaders unite around the common goal of seeing every child’s potential become reality.
 
Supporting our local schools builds capable and responsible citizens and increases the population of potential employees and future local consumers.
 
Our partners and sponsors play a vital role in supporting the work PTA does for children.
 
Connect with parents, teachers, students and community members all of one like mind.
 

Why join PTA?

PTAs in Plano ISD focus on building relationships, providing educational opportunities, advocating for all students, and supporting positive, child-focused legislation.

Relationships

PTAs create stronger relationships between the school’s families, teachers, and administrators by hosting school-wide events like picnics, performances, and socials. PTA members receive important information through newsletters, social media, and email.

Education

PTAs provide educational opportunities for students and families through field trips, parent programming, after-school activities for students, book fairs, and science nights.

Advocacy

PTAs advocate for the benefit of all children. Everyone – students, parents, teachers, and community members – can support this effort by joining a school’s PTA.

Legislation

PTAs promote legislation focused on improving public education, as well as state and federal legislation protecting the health and safety of children.

PTA Benefits

Families have opportunities to be involved in their child’s school by actively participating in school events and programs, staying up-to-date on school news, and developing relationships within the school community. Plus, research shows students of involved families earn higher grades and test scores, develop better social skills, and are more likely to attend college.

 

Discounts and benefits negotiated by state and national PTA are available for all PTA members.
