Membership

What common interests do you share with your local PTA?  We support better education, more resources, and safer schools for every child. PTA recognizes that schools with well-structured, consistent parent involvement programs experience profound benefits for students, parents, educators, and overall school quality.  

Membership is open to anyone concerned with the education, health, and welfare of children and youth.  For information on how to become a member of EIS PTA, look for a membership application in the hall by the school office.
