Membership

PTA connects families and schools. By joining PTA you show your children that school matters and that you are invested in their success. 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.

ARES PTA offers a variety of programs and materials for students, parents, families, schools and communities.
