As a Council, one of our main jobs is to support our local PTAs/PTSAs. We can do this in many ways, such as informing of best practices, giving advice, answering questions, providing leadership training, building connections, and encouraging local leaders.

Please let us know what we can do to help YOU & YOUR PTA! Is there something that your PTA is struggling with? Do you have any burning questions or concerns? Answer the questions in this survey to let us know.

As always, remember that Council is here to help. You can always reach out to Council members at any time.

Find out what is important to your members before your delegates vote at the 2020 Legislative Assembly!

WA State PTA has made it easy for PTA leaders to survey your members with this e-survey. Just send the link out to your members and WSPTA will send you the results for your school before legislative assembly starts to see your members’ responses. Your delegates can use these results to guide their votes along with the education and caucusing sessions available for all topics. This survey will provide great input to help your delegates represent your PTA.

Looking for help on how to communicate this e-survey with your members?
