Parent Teacher Association (PTA)

Impact of PTA

Research shows when parents, teachers, and students are involved in school, students perform better, they receive higher test scores, grades, and have better attendance. Children of involved parents also exhibit increased motivation, better self-esteem, and fewer instances of negative behavior. Those great benefits come from parent involvement, a major focus of PTA!

Why should I join PTA?

When you join PTA, you will become connected to the wonderful Sandia Base Community. You will have a voice in enhancing your child’s learning experience by volunteering for committees, supporting activities, and speaking up at general PTA monthly meetings. PTA members get voting privileges.

Who is PTA for?

PTA is not just for parents of students but also students, faculty, staff, grandparents, aunts, uncles, community members and leaders. PTA is for anyone wanting to be involved in our children’s future and education.

Do I have to volunteer?

No, Sandia Base PTA encourages parent and community involvement to support our children in their academic and social education; however, becoming a member 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 in your membership fee, we absolutely welcome you and your support, as the information you learn through out PTA correspondence will really help you connect with your school community.
