Investing in your child's future and being involved in their growth is one of the most rewarding things you can do.
Make a Difference: Bring new ideas to life and help create a world-class community that supports each other.
Get Connected: Tap into a network of parents and stay informed about school events and news.
Have a Say: Your membership gives you a voice and a vote in the decisions that the PTA makes.
Enjoy Perks: Get special gifts and membership perks from California PTA.
Provide Support: The school, teachers, and students rely on PTA support for much-needed supplies and resources not covered by the school district's budget.

Some people have misconceptions about what it means to be a PTA member. Here are the facts.
MYTH: Joining the PTA means I have to volunteer.
REALITY: Not at all! While we love our volunteers, your membership does not obligate you to volunteer. Many members choose to support us by paying their dues alone.
MYTH: I have to be a stay-at-home parent to join.
REALITY: The PTA is made up of all kinds of people—working parents, grandparents, teachers, and community members. Your busy schedule is not a barrier to joining.
MYTH: The PTA has all the money it needs.
REALITY: Our fundraising is directly tied to the programs we provide. Every dollar raised goes back into the school to support our students, teachers, and events.
MYTH: The PTA only plans parties and fundraisers.
REALITY: While we do organize fun events, we also focus on academics, health, and safety. We advocate for students, provide classroom grants, and fund vital programs and resources.
