What Does It Mean to Become a PTA "Member"?  As each new school year begins, the PTA asks all of the families to please join the PTA.  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 $6 per year (per family) and to complete the Membership Form.  That's it!  There are no requirements for volunteering time or attending meetings.  So, please join our PTA, and thanks for helping us support our wonderful schools!

Volunteer Training  Before you can volunteer in any Carroll County Public School, you must first attend annual training. You must complete training AT LEAST SEVEN DAYS before you wish to volunteer. AND REMEMBER, EVERY YEAR YOU MUST RENEW YOUR VOLUNTEER ELIGIBILITY BY ATTENDING TRAINING. For additional information on volunteer training, contact Kris Barker at krisbarker@comcast.net.  [Volunteer Training Schedule]
