News from National PTA:

November 2011 National PTA Resources: Academic achievement has always been paramount, and in today’s changing economy the need for advanced skills and technical knowledge is growing. It is vital that we show our children that we value learning, and that education is important and will pay off in the long run as they mature. When parents are involved in their children's educations, student achievement improves. Student academic achievement starts with parents helping children succeed by providing a home that encourages learning. You support your child’s physical, mental, and emotional development. Use these parent resources to help your child achieve success in school!
 
June 2011 National PTA Takes Steps to Focus on the 'T' in PTA:
National PTA (NPTA) has created a website dedicated to teachers and those entering the profession to access PTA membership information, resources and e-learning opportunities. In announcing the new “Focusing on the ‘T’ in PTA” page, NPTA Membership Committee Chair Derrick W. Byrd stated his hope that it “will further assist in developing and strengthening the parent-teacher partnership that will result in higher student achievement and PTA advocacy.”
