10 reasons to join the Arroyo PTA
Concerned parents, students, faculty, staff, community members, grandparents, and other family members make up the Arroyo PTA.
How do I join the Arroyo PTA?
Membership envelopes will be sent home with your child. Simply fill out the envelope, and include a $5 fee per person. These fees support local, state and national dues. Envelopes will also be availabe at Back to School Night on September 10th.
1) Your child benefits.
When parents get connected to the school, children do better. Research shows children whose parents are involved get better grades, do better on tests, and have fewer discipline problems at school.
2) We make a difference.
We provide support for teachers in and out of the classroom. We provide resources they need. We help create learning opportunities for children. And we try to build the kind of supportive, caring atmosphere that makes school fun.
3) We pledge to honor your time constraints.
People are often reluctant to participate because they’re afraid they’ll get pulled into a black hole of never-ending time commitment. That won’t happen here. An hour or two a trimester really makes a difference. And we won’t push you to commit more than you want to or are able to.
4) We have fun.
Volunteer work shouldn’t be drudgery. We accomplish a lot, and not everything we do is easy. But we know we’re not balancing the national debt, either. We don’t take ourselves too seriously, and we try to enjoy ourselves along the way whenever possible.
5) Meet nice people who share your concerns.
We all have a common bond. We care about creating the best possible educational experience for our children. We are neighbors and peers who share many of the same experiences.
6) There’s a lot to be done.
These days, schools are asked to do more with less. Our help is needed more than ever to fill the gaps.
7) We can match jobs to your interests and abilities.
The work we do covers a broad spectrum: filing and photocopying, planning and executing events, writing and editing, working directly with children, managing a budget and cash flow, and lots more. We encourage creative ideas, and we’re thrilled to have people take on tasks that meet their skills and interests.
8) We’re welcoming.
To us, there are no “outsiders.” We are people who have come together to work toward common goals. We couldn’t be happier to have you join us in working toward those goals.
9) We’re about parent involvement, not fundraising.
In these times of tight budgets, parent groups everywhere are having to fill in the gaps, and so are we. But our number one goal is to get more parents connected to the school.
10) This work is very rewarding.
It’s seeing the bright light of learning sparkle in a child’s eye. It’s seeing the smile that shows we’re making school a little more fun—and a child feel a little more comfortable in a learning environment.
