Why RUHS Needs a PTSA

Harnessing the Power of Volunteers

Shrinking budgets. Increasing class sizes. Government mandates. The challenges of delivering quality education are daunting. There is help. It’s the PTSA.

Some of PTSA’s Benefits

• Leverage Volunteer Power
PTSA organizes hard-working, dedicated volunteers. Parents are ready to help implement school improvement programs.

• Improve Communication
PTSAs frequently coordinate production of a school newsletter and information fliers, keeping the entire school community informed of current events, issues, and accomplishments. Regular meetings allow PTSAs to share information with members.

• See Measurable Results
More than 85 research studies conducted over the past 30 years prove that kids do better when parents are involved. Grades are higher. Test scores improve. Attendance increases.

• Discover More Dollars
Local PTSAs are self-funding. By inviting the entire school’s parent community to join, they generate membership fees to pay for programs. Local PTSA fundraisers support school programs, building improvements, and educational events.

• Tap into Proven Programs
Local PTSAs have access to ready-made, easy-to-use programs with proven success records. From health and safety topics, to collaborating with teachers and community members, to fundraising, the programs get results.

• Boost Children’s Well-Being
PTSAs focus on what students need to be successful in their learning, including nutrition, health, school safety, physical fitnes and general well-being. PTA works with schools to ensure that children succeed.

• Enjoy Informed Parents
Involved parents understand the challenges schools face and become part of the solution. By developing a closer relationship with parents, student achievement improves, and the school develops a positive reputation in the community.

• Fulfill NCLB Obligations
Finally, PTSAs can help schools fulfill the parent involvement requirement of the No Child Left Behind Act. PTSA understands the needs behind NCLB. In fact, it’s PTSA’s definition of parent involvement that is used in NCLB.
