WELCOME TO EL ORO WAY PTA!
MEMBERSHIP
Becoming a member of the PTA
Our PTA is a group of like-minded parents and educators focused on one thing: doing the best we can for our children’s educational experience.
LAUSD does not provide every program and resource that we, as parents, may feel our children need for a well-rounded elementary school education. That’s where our PTA comes in. Parents and teachers work together to help fill those gaps and provide opportunities that might otherwise not be available to our students.
Our PTA helps raise money to support programs and experiences that are not otherwise provided, such as a Physical Education Supplemental Program, a computer technology aide, and field trips.
So, what does being a PTA member mean for you?
-
Attend monthly meetings to learn about fundraisers, upcoming events, and ways the PTA supports our school.
-
Support our fundraisers and events by participating when you can. There is absolutely no requirement to volunteer.
-
Share your skills and ideas if you have something you’d like to contribute.
-
Attend school events with your family and show your support for our students and school community.
Being a PTA member can be as simple as staying informed and showing your support. Come to our next meeting! Stop by, even if you only have a few minutes to say hello and introduce yourself. Ask questions. Share your ideas. Use your voice.
