PTA Membership

Our mission is to have every child at Curtsinger represented in the PTA.
If you have been considering joining, please join today and help make our mission possible! Even if you do not have a lot of time to give, just joining shows your support. The larger our group, the stronger our voice!"

Reasons to Join

*  By Joining PTA, you automatically become part of the largest child-advocacy    
    organization in the state - over 770,000 strong across Texas! Wow!
*  Joining PTA is the best way to get informed and involved in your child's school. It
    gives you a voice and a vote to all PTA activities throughout the year.
*  Studies have proven that membership in PTA provides your child with a greater
    chance of achieving in school. It's a wonderful way to meet new friends, other
    parents, and to get to know the teachers. This will introduce you to others that
*  share common concerns and you will feel more empowered to do the tough job 
    of parenting.
*  You will join in promoting welfare for our children in the home, school, community
    and place of worship. More than ever it is important for parents to learn ways to 
    keep children safe, trouble free, and involved in school. PTA is the best place to 
    gain that knowledge.
*  You will be included in and receive a Curtsinger Student Directory that will keep
    you and your children connected to others throughout the year. It's only $9.00
    per member! $14.00 for a family membership for two directories.
*  The PTA makes Curtsinger Elementary a better place!

How to Join Membership Forms are online or available in the school office.
