What is a Parent Association or a Parent Teacher Association?
All schools are required to have either a:
- Parent Association (PA)
- Parent Teacher Association (PTA)
These organizations:
- advocate for students and families

- plan and run activities for parents and families
PA/PTAs can support schools in a number of ways, including:
- hosting parent workshops
- organizing activities for families—both academic and social
- raising funds
- running volunteer events
