Why become a PTA member?

Becoming a member gives you access to exclusive member discounts, a forum to share your voice, lets you be more in the know about the happenings at Highlands, and most importantly have a vote as to how PTA money is spent at Highlands.

Frequently asked questions

If I join, do I have to go to meetings?

No! You are welcome to attend our general meetings, but definitely not required. You can find the dates & times of PTA on our calendar.

 

If I join, do I have to volunteer or spend a lot of time at school?

No - joining the PTA is not the same as volunteering. If you choose to volunteer we would LOVE the help—but volunteering is not required. You can learn more about volunteer opportunities at Highlands on our Volunteer page.

 

What is the Highlands SMART fund?

The SMART fund is our most important fundraiser of the year! Why is it so important? The district provides a base level of funding to meet common core standards. The SMART fund allows our school to fund additional programs and support teachers to expand your child's education beyond the basic curriculum.

 

The more SMART fund donations, the more we can continue providing quality programs for ALL children at Highlands.

 

100% of your donations to the Highlands SMART Fund stay at our school to support our programs.
