No. If your time and circumstances don't allow you to volunteer right now, you can still join the PTSA. In fact, being a member of the PTSA is a great way to show your support even if your current situation doesn't allow you to volunteer.

When you are ready to get more involved any level of help is appreciated.  Your contributions will make a difference! Check out our volunteer opportunities to see if there's a fit for you. 

No. Being a member of the PTSA does not obligate you to attend meetings. We have General Membership meetings 4 times a year where we will hear updates from the school and make decisions on programs, budget, and how to best fulfill our mission. Attendance at meetings allows you to stay informed and have your voice heard! Here is our General Membership meeting schedule.

Yes. Each school has an independent PTSA that provides support and funding for its students and families. By joining the Clara Barton PTSA you will be helping to provide the resources and opportunities necessary for every student at Clara Barton Elementary to make their potential a reality. We appreciate your support!

No. The Bobcat Fund is the primary source of funding for the programs and resources the PTSA provides and we appreciate your support!

However, becoming a PTSA Member lends your voice to which programs and opportunities are offered at Clara Barton Elementary.

In joining our PTSA, you also become a member of Washington State and National PTAs. The PTA is the largest child advocacy group in the US. Every member adds strength to this voice helping to protect the interests of all children.

If joining the PTSA is a financial hardship, please contact the Clara Barton school counselor to request receiving assistance to become a member. All inquiries are confidential.

Memberships need to be renewed every year and our fiscal year runs July 1st to June 30th, so add a calendar reminder in August with back to school shopping for PTSA membership renewal!
