Join the PTA

While Spring Branch ISD students have jumped into another school year, volunteers with campus PTAs and SBISD Council of PTAs have been hard at work preparing for the months to come. PTA members are planning fund-raisers, creating newsletters and completing a number of other tasks to insure a successful year. Being a member of the PTA is all about getting involved in your child’s education. PTA brings together our community to improve SBISD schools and provide the best for our students. Joining the PTA allows you to work together with other parents and help build an important bond with teachers while improving the future for all children.

To join PTA, contact the campus PTA president or your child’s school office for more information. At the district level, the SBISD Council of PTAs first meeting of the year will be held at 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept.5, in the SBISD Administration Building’s Board of Trustees Meeting Room, 955 Campbell Road. For more information, visit the PTA section of this site. Looking ahead, the 83rd Legislative Session of the Texas Legislature will begin in January 2013.

The Board’s Legislative Priorities are posted on the district website. To learn more about the Legislative session and parent-related issues, please visit the local Spring Branch Speaks group at www.springbranchspeaks.com.
