Why PTA?

• We understand that when families, communities, and teachers work together our children achieve more.
• We understand the importance of a child advocacy association. Issues affecting our children do not just happen at our school level; they happen in our counties, states, and in our country.
• We do not just worry about our own children; we care all about children across Colorado.
• We can build on the strengths and successes of PTAs nationwide, and we have access to support resources. We do not do it alone.
• The national, statewide, and county reputation of PTA will provide foundational support to your school PTA.

 

What Does PTA Offer?

PTA understands the difficult roles families and teachers have in helping our children thrive. We provide an organized means to promote family and community involvement and networking to enrich education and welfare for all students.

PTA understands that the people who volunteer to run a parent association do not always come with the training to do so. PTA offers all of its officers training to be effective leaders.

PTA understands that issues affecting our local schools impact our children. City, County, State, and Federal governments are making policies that have far reaching impacts on our children. Families and teachers, who know children best, must also have a say in those discussions and policies.
