National PTA found that in the past, families and parents have not joined PTA simply because they were never ASKED!


Did You Know: Over half of PTAs in Virginia are in Title 1 Schools.

Establishing a Parent and Family Engagement Policy is required by the ESSA for Title 1 schools and PTAs LOVE Family Engagement in every school.

• Standard 1—Welcoming All Families into the School Community
• Standard 2—Communicating Effectively
• Standard 3—Supporting Student Success
• Standard 4—Speaking Up for Every Child
• Standard 5—Sharing Power
• Standard 6—Collaborating with Community
THE ASK
Your participation in your child’s education increases their likelihood to earn higher grades, attend classes regularly, pass their classes and graduate/attend postsecondary education. Will you join our PTA to actively support your child’s learning and development?
