why should I join the pta?
The programs we support would not be possible without our members. The most important way you can help the PTA succeed is by joining - every year! The $10 membership dues go directly to the school and benefit all students. When you join the PTA, your membership has a direct impact on the educational experience at ACES.
A few reasons why you should join the PTA:
-Stay connected and informed with school and community information. Members receive a monthly newsletter via email detailing events, volunteer opportunities, news, and important announcements.
-Strengthen the ACES community by providing input, volunteering, and networking with other families, teachers, and staff.
-Membership dues and fundraising efforts raise money to support the needs of our school community.
-Members can be involved as much (or as little) as they would like to be!
FAQ’s:
- Do I have to join every year?
Yes! Membership is valid for 1 year. Please join each year so that the PTA can continue to provide the tools, resources, and materials year after year. - Do I have to have a child at ACES to join?
