What is the PTA?

The Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is a nationwide organization dedicated to supporting children, families, and schools. As the oldest and largest child advocacy group in the United States, the PTA works at the local, state, and national levels to make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children.

About PTA

Why Should You Join the Skaggs PTA?

Becoming a PTA member offers a variety of benefits—for you, your child, and the Skaggs community:

• Get Involved: It’s a great way to meet other parents and stay informed about school happenings.

• Make an Impact: Your membership helps fund valuable programs, events, and resources for students, teachers, and families.

• Support Student Success: Studies show that students whose families are involved in PTA are more likely to succeed academically.

• Build Community: Skaggs is a wonderfully diverse school, and working together through the PTA helps strengthen our shared community.

Where Does Your Membership Fee Go?
A portion of your membership fee covers Texas PTA and National PTA dues. The rest stays right here at Skaggs, supporting students, teachers, and school programs throughout the year.
