Durham Public Schools PTAs

School Parent Teacher (Student) Associations are active at the beginning of the year, introducing new officers and leading Back to School Nights.

If your school has a PTA, do join! The cost is $5 per family and the benefits are many. PTAs often fund special items or programs that don’t have a place in the school budget, like special music and art supplies, playground equipment, field day, math and science competitions, and teacher appreciation celebrations. Funds come from other sources throughout the year, like the book fair, car washes, bake sales, and raffles… all volunteer-powered.

More information on mission, goals, etc. is available at the North Carolina PTA website.

Here are some PTAs and PTSAs that have an online presence. Many of the missing schools have strong PTAs that just don’t have a website, and some of the links here show last year’s information, pending update for the 2008-2009 school year.
