How long is my membership valid for?

Membership expires annually on October 31 of each year.  It is 
best to renew 
your membership annually when school starts.  This way you are 
sure to be 
able to vote, and attend school functions.

How do I become a member?

Every year at the start of school a membership form is sent home 
with all 
students.  If you did not receive it you may simply write your 
name, 
child/childrens name(s) and Homeroom Teacher(s) name, your 
address and 
telephone number on a piece of paper.  Enclose $5.00 dues.  Put 
it in an 
envelope marked PTA Membership and send it to school with your 
child.  
Membership tables will be set up at Parent's Night and at every 
PTA meeting. 
Membership  can be done at any time of the year it does not close.

Who can be a field trip chaperone?

Only PTA members can be chaperones. Anyone who is a member may be 
selected to 
go on a field trip. Field trips are not just limited to parents 
or 
guardians.  We have a number of active grandparents.  All 
chaperones must 
have child abuse and criminal history clearance papers on file 
with the 
Principles.  They will keep the President updated. Deadline for 
submitting 
clearances for 2009-2010 trips is January 31, 2010.
