Why are Parent Teacher Association
(PTA) Units Important?
Parent involvement is crucial to
the health and well-being of a child. As a parent, you are the
most important influence in your child's success in school and
in life. In this role, you have a fresh opportunity every day to
get involved with your child.
Parent involvement in children’s education allows kids to
perform better in school, and navigate more easily some of the
challenges of growing up.
PTA is the oldest and largest child advocacy group in the nation. New York organized the first state PTA congress in 1897. Currently, New York State PTA has a membership exceeding 346,000 in more than 1,600 local units and councils.
PTA is committed to being the leading resource for parent involvement. We offer comprehensive resources for helping parents get involved and stay involved in the lives of their children. Join your child's school PTA unit and learn about new ways you can help improve your school while making a difference in your child's life.
