Membership – Clara Barton Elementary PTSA

Join Clara Barton Elementary PTSA

Help us meet our 2020-21 school year PTSA membership goal of 143 members.

The number one reason to join the PTSA is to benefit your student. In doing so, you also help the Clara Barton Elementary community. But there are many more advantages. Here are just a few:

Stay Connected. Meet our Board Members, support PTSA programs and events as a volunteer, and receive news and updates. As a member, there’s no better way to know what’s happening in our school.
Discover Resources. The PTSA offers a variety of programs and events for students, families, parents, and the community. The PTSA also makes available resources through LWSD, LWPTSA, WSPTA, and National PTA.
Tap the Network. Parenting is not easy. It helps to share ideas, concerns, and experiences with others. PTSA events are opportunities to meet other parents and teachers, build rapport, and discuss issues.
Feel Yourself Grow. By volunteering with PTSA, you gain valuable experiences. It’s an opportunity to put your skills and hobbies to good use for a good cause —- your student.
Speak Up. Because PTSA is a forum for exchanging ideas, you are encouraged to participate in General Membership Meetings and make suggestions. PTSA is a way you can contribute to positive change.
Witness Improvement. From building improvements to curriculum-based programs and social events –- your membership is vital to student success. You'll see the difference!
Be a Role Model. Set an example for your student. By becoming a PTSA member, you demonstrate to your student the importance you place on education.

Membership Q&A

Do I have to volunteer if I join?

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.

Do I have to attend monthly meetings?

If I joined at another school do I need to join again?

I donated to The Bobcat Fund. Is this the same as joining the PTSA?

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 ar 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.

What if joining is outside my budget?
