Why PTA?

With shrinking budgets, curriculum cuts, and government mandates the challenges of delivering quality education are daunting. Here are some Benefits of the Rosa Parks PTA:

Leverage Volunteer Power. Rosa Parks PTA organizes hard-working and dedicated volunteers. Parents are ready and willing to help implement school improvement programs. All you need to do is ask and give a little direction.

Improve Communication. Frequently, one of a PTA’s responsibilities is coordinating production of a school newsletter and information fliers, keeping the entire school community informed of current events, issues, and accomplishments. In addition, regularly scheduled meetings are an opportunity for you to share information with members. See the calendar for upcoming events and meetings.

See Measurable Results. More than 85 rigorous academic research studies conducted through over 30 years of research prove that kids do better when parents are involved. Grades are higher. Test scores improve. Attendance increases.

Discover More Dollars. Rosa Parks PTA is self-funding. By inviting the entire school’s parent community to join, we generate membership fees to pay for programs. We often organize fundraising events. Proceeds support school-based programs, building maintenance and improvements, and educational and social events.

Boost Children’s Well-Being. Rosa Parks PTA focus’s on what students need to be successful in their learning, including nutrition, health, and well-being. Whether it is school safety, physical fitness, or healthy breakfasts, PTA works with school administrators to ensure that children are prepared to succeed.

Enjoy Informed Parents. Perhaps one of the most important benefits is that involved parents understand the challenges schools face and become part of the solution. They support improving education, both locally and legislatively. By developing a closer relationship with parents, student achievement improves, and the school develops a positive reputation in the community.
