Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) Resources

Within the United States, parent-teacher associations (PTAs) are made up of school administrators, teachers, and parents working together to increase parental involvement in their children’s education. Most American elementary and middle schools, regardless of whether they’re private or public, have PTAs or similar organizations. PTAs can also be found at some pre and high schools.
