Why Join?
As a member of the Laurelhurst
PTA, you
join a community that encourages student achievement and helps enrich the
learning environment. We believe in building partnerships between our families
and our school. If you have not joined, we would like to encourage your
membership. Some reasons to join:
 | Academic improvement.
The PTA allows you to be involved in your child's education. Every study ever
conducted on the relationship between student performance and parent
involvement in education shows that when parents are involved in education,
student academic performance improves. |
| Direct impact: Your
membership in PTA has a direct impact on our children and the quality of our
school. PTA has the ability to make a school a better place for children to
learn. Our own PTA can address the needs of our school. |
| Program enhancements.
Because of strong support of and membership in the Laurelhurst PTA,
many
programs are made possible to our students including Sound Partners tutoring,
music offerings, staff appreciation efforts and recycling/composting programs. |
When you join
the PTA, you also have access to great resources provided by the Washington
State and National PTA. You'll find information on parenting, on helping
students with homework, on preparing for parent-teacher conferences, and a
variety of other topics related to children and youth.
