Parent Teacher Association (PTA)
As part of our belief system, Tempe Elementary Schools believe that building genuine relationships within the school and local community is essential for student success. Parent Teacher Associations (PTAs) provide a powerful network to effect change at local, state and national levels. We encourage parents to start small, get involved, learn how to become change agents.
The Role of PTAs
To learn more about your school's PTA, please contact the school office.
Why should I join the PTA?
The PTA provides opportunities to meet and network with other parents, teachers, and school administrators. There's no better way to know what's happening in your child's school and community. Becoming a member is a great way of showing support for the many things the PTA does for our school and children.
What is PTA Membership?
Membership means paying an annual registration fee of $6 per person to be counted as a member of the Parent Teacher Association. With that membership, you receive a membership card from Holdeman Huskies PTA. Additionally, your membership adds to numbers that support State and National PTA lobbying efforts with the goal of improving education.
What do I have to do as a member?
Holdeman Huskies PTA encourages parent and community involvement to support our children in their academic and social education; however, becoming a member of PTA does NOT mean that you must commit to volunteer hours or attend every meeting – we respect that you do only what you can, when you can. Even if you can afford no time other than filling out the membership form and sending ion your membership fee, we welcome you and your support, as the information you learn through our PTA correspondence (Facebook page and bi-monthly newsletter) will really help you stay connected with your school community.
Can I attend meetings and PTA functions, or volunteer, if I am not a member?
Everyone is always welcome to come to meetings and special functions or help out. Membership is not required. However, you are required to be a member to vote at the meetings or to serve as a board member (either as an elected officer or as an appointed chairperson).
