• To assist parents in developing the skills they need to raise and protect their children; and

• To encourage parent and public involvement in the public schools of this nation.

The Purpose of the PTA

• To promote the welfare of the children and youth in home, school, community, and place of worship;

• To raise the standards of home life;

• To secure adequate laws for the care and protection of children and youth;

• To bring into closer relation the home and the school, that parents and teachers may cooperate intelligently in the education of children and youth; and

• To develop between educators and the general public such united efforts as will secure for all children and youth the highest advantages in physical, mental, social, and spiritual education.
