The Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is a grassroots organization made up of parents, teachers, students and administrators who have a special interest in children, families and schools.

The Patton PTA helps strengthen our school community by bringing together parents, teachers, and students. Through your membership dues and through fundraising the PTA is able help support programs for students as well as for parents. Throughout the year the PTA sponsors events like carnival, arts day, and track and field days. Your membership in the Patton PTA gives you a voice in how our fundraising dollars are spent. The PTA also offers you many opportunities to exercise your talents, meet other parents and teachers, and discuss issues that affect your child’s education.

The annual dues are $6 per person and include membership not only to the Patton PTA, but also the Texas PTA and National PTA. Membership is open to parents, grandparents or any family member that wants to be involved in a child’s educational experience. PTA membership is as diverse as Texas is in cultures, education levels and parenting skills. By joining a PTA, a member automatically becomes part of the largest child-advocacy organization in the state — over 630,000 strong across Texas. Studies have proven that membership in PTA provides your child and other children around you with a greater chance of achieving in school. As a PTA member, you are more likely to be an informed, involved parent. More than ever, it is important for parents to learn ways to keep children safe, trouble free and involved in school. PTA is the best place to gain that knowledge.
