Join Our PTSA

Updated for 2023-2024

Why join?

By joining the PTSA, you help us meet our school's needs that are outside the scope of their budget. You also get great discounts, locally and nationally. When you go a step further and volunteer to help with events—or join our board— you set a fine example for our students to follow, and greatly encourage our teachers and staff.

Price

The PTSA membership price for adults, faculty, or students is $15.00.

If you're uncertain about your PTSA membership status, login and go to Forms. Look for the PTSA Membership 2023-2024 link. If you're already a member, it will be indicated on that page.

I have a Membership Toolkit account. Isn't that the same as joining the PTSA?

It is not the same. Membership Toolkit is the service that empowers us to make purchases, complete paperwork, and coordinate our volunteer efforts —all online. The goal is to save time, and work together more smoothly!

Once registered, you can:

Join our PTSA (and pay dues) online
Sign-up to receive important communications
Complete your directory information
Donate
Purchase spirit wear
Access the online directory and app (for PTSA members only)

IF I JOIN, DO I HAVE TO...

Go to meetings?
No. You are welcome to attend our general meetings though.
Volunteer or spend a lot of time at school?
Nope! Joining the PTSA is not the same as volunteering. If you choose to volunteer we would LOVE the help—but volunteering is not required.

PLANO ISD COUNCIL OF PTAs

The Plano ISD Council of PTAs, with 70 local-unit PTAs and more than 22,000 members, is the key link in the line of communication between the local, area, State, and National PTAs, as well as with the school administration and the general public. Councils provide opportunities for conferences, leadership training, and coordination of efforts, plus information, support, inspiration, and instruction for Council members.

The Council serves to strengthen local PTAs, support new PTAs, develop leadership potential, promote PTA membership and serve the community and its children.

Plano ISD Council of PTAs is involved in many programs and projects, including leadership training, Officer and Chairman Training, Outstanding PTA Award, Life Membership Banquet, Reflections and Texas PTA Environmental Programs, Vendor Fair, Plano ISD administration holiday luncheon, local PTA program recognition, legislative action and community issues and more.

Texas PTA

Texas Parent Teacher Association (PTA) assists PTAs in building their CommYOUnity through programs that promote student achievement, creativity and inclusiveness.

Our society's future leaders, innovators, citizens and protectors are our children, and they are given their best chance to succeed when their community unites as a powerful and effective voice for all children. Whether you’re helping a student improve their reading, working the drop-off line at the school, or just taking the simple step to join a PTA - you are making the difference in the lives of our kids!

PTA is focused on making every child's potential a reality by strengthening education and taking a comprehensive approach to community success. And we know there is no commYOUnity without YOU, our members, our business leaders, our decision-makers. Join us to ensure that supporting our schools is about more than fundraisers, rather the work of parents, educators and community members coming together to back the future of every child!

National PTA

Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is the largest volunteer child advocacy association in the nation. Its mission reminds our country of its obligations to children and provides parents and families with a powerful voice to speak on behalf of every child while providing the best tools for parents to help their children be successful students.

🎉🌟🙌🏆👏🎓 Congratulations to former PESH Principal, George King, on receiving this highest honor from the nation’s largest child advocacy association in May 2023. Mr. King daily lived out his 40-year career committed to children. 🎉🌟🙌🏆👏🎓
