About the MAES/Parr's Ridge PTA

Our Mission

To enable all students to achieve academic success and develop a lifelong love of learning through the support of our parents and teachers.

To foster relations between home, school and community while empowering students to become responsible citizens in a changing world.

What does it mean to be a PTA Member?

As each new school year begins, the PTA asks all of the families to please join the PTA. Perhaps you're thinking "What does joining the PTA really mean? I don't have time to go to a lot of meetings and be on committees. What will be expected of me if I join?" Don't worry! We understand that many of you have commitments that prevent you from being able to volunteer and attend PTA meetings, BUT we still would love to have you join our PTA family. Taking a few minutes to join the PTA simply means that you would like show your support for the schools and the PTA, and contribute a small donation to the cause.

All that is required to join is a membership fee of $10 per year (per family) and to complete the Membership Form. That's it! There are no requirements for volunteering time or attending meetings. (Although we encourage you to do so, if you can!)

So, please join our PTA, and thanks for helping us support our wonderful schools!
