Parent Teacher Association (PTA)

A PTA is an organization with a mission to make our school a better place for students to learn. Our PTAs brings together families, teachers, and children to raise funds and strengthen the school community. Money raised is usually spent on materials, resources, and events that the school budget does not cover.

PTAs help support things like:

• Teacher appreciation 
• Community events (School carnivals, Trunk or Treat, etc.)
• Field trips
• Extra learning opportunities (Art Masterpiece)
• Fundraisers

At Tempe Elementary Schools, we encourage involvement in your child’s education and community. There are many reasons why you should join your PTA. From making new friends and getting to know the school environment, to helping raise much-needed funds and making a difference to the children and school community. 

Interested in learning more about a PTA and how you can get involved? Contact your school's front office to learn more about the PTA at your school.

A good PTA can help strengthen the child, parent, and school community. It can also become a huge marketing tool for the school, a way of strengthening their reputation, and increasing family engagement. The PTA can help communicate with families more effectively, enhance fundraising efforts, and qualify for grants and awards to support the school. All of this activity helps enhance a school’s reputation within the community.
