Becoming a member of the PTA
There's a reason why there is usually a PTA at every school throughout the US. When parents work together to help their children excel, all students benefit. The PTA is a group of like-minded people focusing on one thing: doing the best for our kid's educational needs.
​
LAUSD does NOT provide all schools with every program that we, as parents, think our kids need for a well-rounded elementary school education. Therefore, it is up to the parents and teachers to compensate for what LAUSD has not provided.
​
El Oro Way is a charter school. It has some different rules and budgeting restraints applied to it for that reason. The PTA works to raise money that can be spent on things like a Physical Education Supplemental Program, a computer tech aide, and field trips. These are items that are not otherwise provided to us.
​
Now that you know a little of what the PTA does for your school, here is what being a PTA member could mean to you:
-attending monthly meetings to learn about fundraisers or other issues
-volunteering at fundraisers or events (as little as 30 minutes is REALLY helpful!)
-offering support throughout the year of any special skill you might have
-attending fundraisers or events with your family to show support
​
See? Super easy. Support is what we need, because support is what the PTA GIVES TO YOUR CHILD!
Join us at the next meeting. Stop by, even if just for a moment to say hi and introduce yourself. Ask questions. Use your voice!
