Council PTSA - How Do We Fit In?

Northshore School District
Our 34 Local PTAs
Northshore Council PTSA | Region 6 | WSPTA | National PTA
(the above are all clickable links)

Northshore Council is the PTSA that oversees the 34 local PTAs within the Northshore School District.  We are here to support our PTAs, develop leadership, promote membership and give service to the local school community.

Council is a key link in the line of communication between the local PTAs, Region 6 (there are 13 Regions in WA State), WA State PTA and the National PTA.  Council contributes to a stronger, more effective organization by providing information, inspiration and instruction for its member units. 

Councils serve the entire area, not just a portion of it, by helping PTAs focus on what they need to pay attention to and when, by training officers as they come into their positions, and by collaborating with the school district.

Northshore Council can assist your local unit in so many ways

• Provide a communication link between district, PTAs, and parents in the community.
• Answer questions for local units and assist with conflict resolution.
• Be a resource of information to PTA leaders.
• Offer mentoring of future leaders.
• We are a collective voice for the children they serve.
