PTA is the nationβs largest volunteer-led child-advocacy association working to drive improvements in the education, health and well-being of ALL children and families.
We believe…
- every adult has a responsibility to ensure that all children develop to their full potential
- parents are childrenβs first teachers and that parent involvement is essential throughout a childβs educational experience
- family is the basic unit of society responsible for the support and nurturing of all children, and we recognize that βthe familyβ may be defined in many ways
- our responsibility includes advocating for the safety and welfare of all children and the opportunity for a quality public education for each child
