Why PTA?


By joining the PTA, you help us meet our school's needs that are outside the scope of their budget. You also get great discounts, locally and nationally. When you go a step further and volunteer to help with events—or join our board— you set a fine example for our students to follow, and greatly encourage our teachers and staff.

 

IF I JOIN, DO I HAVE TO?

Go to meetings?
No. You are welcome to attend our general meetings though.

 

Volunteer or spend a lot of time at school?
Nope! Joining the PTA is not the same as volunteering. If you choose to volunteer we would LOVE the help—but volunteering is not required.

  • Being a PTA Member means you are investing in Rocky Mount Elementary. You understand how important the programs are that our PTA Funds for your children, the teachers, and the school.
