PTA invites all Palomar Parents to join. Here are just a few reasons why:
1. BENEFIT YOUR CHILD - Research shows that
children get better grades, do better on tests and have fewer discipline
problems when the parents are involved.
2. GET CONNECTED - There is no better way to
know what’s happening at school. Also,
you can take advantage of all the resources available for your children and for
you as parents.
3. BE A ROLE MODEL - Lead by example! There is no better way to show your child the
importance you place on education.
4. SHARE YOUR CONCERNS - Parents can create
friendship bonds, like getting help from upper grade parents who have already
experienced what lower grade parents are going through.
5. WIN A COMMUNITY - PTA connects you to other
parents and teachers through meetings, events and communications, thereby
building a strong community. You can
meet someone to help you carpool! Our schedules
get pretty tight sometimes, but that doesn’t mean your kids can’t have
fun. Count on other parents to help you
and allow your children to enjoy fun activities!!
6. TAP INTO A NETWORK - PTA not only proves
beneficial for students, but for parents as well. You can find out what you have in common with
other parents. You might discover a good
fitness partner or someone who enjoys the same hobbies you do.
7. MAKE A DIFFERENCE – Get your voice
heard! Bring your ideas!! Help us address our concerns and work on our
weak points. Help us get all of the
resources available for our children.
