I have a Membership Toolkit account. Isn't that the same as joining the PTA?

It is not the same. Membership Toolkit is the service that empowers us to make purchases, complete paperwork, and coordinate our volunteer efforts —all online. The goal is to save time, and work together more smoothly! Once registered, you can:

Join our PTA (and pay dues) online
Sign-up to receive important communications
Complete your directory information
Donate
Purchase spirit wear
Access the online directory and app (for PTA members only)

IF I JOIN, DO I HAVE TO...

Go to meetings?
No. You are welcome to attend our general meetings though.
Volunteer or spend a lot of time at school?
Nope! Joining the PTA is not the same as volunteering. If you choose to volunteer we would LOVE the help—but volunteering is not required.

The Council serves to strengthen local PTAs, support new PTAs, develop leadership potential, promote PTA membership and serve the community and its children.

Texas PTA

Texas Parent Teacher Association (PTA) assists PTAs in building their CommYOUnity through programs that promote student achievement, creativity and inclusiveness.

Our society's future leaders, innovators, citizens and protectors are our children, and they are given their best chance to succeed when their community unites as a powerful and effective voice for all children. Whether you’re helping a student improve their reading, working the drop-off line at the school, or just taking the simple step to join a PTA - you are making the difference in the lives of our kids!

PTA is focused on making every child's potential a reality by strengthening education and taking a comprehensive approach to community success. And we know there is no commYOUnity without YOU, our members, our business leaders, our decision-makers. Join us to ensure that supporting our schools is about more than fundraisers, rather the work of parents, educators and community members coming together to back the future of every child!

National PTA

Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is the largest volunteer child advocacy association in the nation. Its mission reminds our country of its obligations to children and provides parents and families with a powerful voice to speak on behalf of every child while providing the best tools for parents to help their children be successful students.
