[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were sent information about PTA and I am curious if most families join their PTAs. There was a thread recently about how ineffective the PTAs are and I have no way of accessing whether ours is great or not. The events listed were 90% virtual, as expected. We are a COSA family and DH thought it would be a great way to connect with other families. I am just dubious if we would be able to do that due to covid.[/quote]

PTA is a great way to get to know other families, to support the school, and to become more engaged. I've only had good PTA experiences and think it's a great way to get involved especially if you are new to the school. At our school, it's only $10 to join so definitely not cost prohibitive

I have seen some schools planning in person/outdoor activities this year and some planning virtual.

Also important to remember that PTA is more than just activities and fundraising - it's also advocacy too. At our school the PTA advocated when there was an issue with compacted math a few years ago and also to get funding from the board of education for renovations and repairs at the school.[/quote]
