We Welcome New Members All Year Long!

Why should I join?
PTA is the largest national network of parents, teachers, and others who have a special interest in children, families, and schools! By joining our PTA you are adding your voice as an advocate for students at Skyline Elementary, in Washington State, and nationwide. We are a non-profit organization with a mission to bring together Home, School, and Community on behalf of all children. As a member, you benefit with many discount programs through Washington State & National PTAs, of which you automatically also become a member. Find discount information at:

You may join just to show your support of the PTA organization; there is no time commitment required. By joining you create a HUGE legislative voice for our children. MEMBERSHIP IS NOT VOLUNTEERING AND DOES NOT REQUIRED YOU TO VOLUNTEER AT PTA EVENTS. **If you are volunteering at the school during the school day then you must have a volunteer background check form on file with the main office.
PTAs meet together, study problems, support teachers, volunteer in schools, fund school programs, attend workshops, and become informed on issues regarding children and youth. Your membership dues support these activities. We are part of the largest child-advocacy organization in the state-- over 150,000 strong across Washington. As a result, PTA members have the opportunity to become better parents, teachers and citizens.
Membership cost is $15 per individual. Even if you don't have time to volunteer, you can still help tremendously simply by becoming a member. Other family members can join too.
