PTSA Membership FAQ

Why should I become a member of PTSA?

PTSA helps organize parents to make Audubon a better place for your children to learn by addressing the needs of our individual school. PTSA helps us make Audubon safer, and enrich the educational opportunities in our school. PTSA provides a venue for parents to contribute to student success.

Study after study has shown that parent involvement is key to student success in education. PTSA brings resources to parents to help their children in the education process. When you are involved with PTSA, you get to know the teachers better, and you become more familiar with the school and what happens here.

While children cannot vote and do not participate in the legislative process, PTSA speaks for the interests of all children and their health, welfare, safety, and education. Whether in Washington DC, Olympia, or in your own city government offices – everywhere decisions are made that affect your children, PTSA is there speaking on behalf of your children.

If one parent joins PTA, why do you ask that the other parent join, too?

As with any advocacy organization, the more members, the louder the political voice. So, while it not a requirement that every adult in the family join PTSA, we encourage you to help make the organization as strong an advocate as possible.

PTSA Funding FAQ

I paid my PTSA membership dues, why do I have to donate to Audubon PTSA, as well?

Membership dues go to the Washington State PTA. Audubon receives only a small percentage of the membership dues. Every dollar you donate to Audubon PTSA goes directly to benefiting the lives of Audubon students. PTSA members also get the benefit of receiving the Audubon PTSA telephone directory that lists membership names and phone numbers.

Can I donate to Audubon PTSA without becoming a member?

Yes, but we encourage you to do both. Also, only members receive the PTSA telephone directory.

What does my donation pay for?

Your donation touches every Audubon student every day. Click here for a comprehensive list of all the ways in which Audubon's PTSA helps augment the cost of educating your child. Here are just a few...
