If I join, do I have to . . .?

• Go to meetings?
  No. You are welcome to attend our general meetings though. We need YOUR support and YOUR VOTE on how PTA operates.

• Volunteer or spend a lot of time at school?

  Nope! Joining the PTA is not the same as volunteering. If you choose to volunteer we would LOVE the help—but volunteering is not required.

The #1 reason to join the PTA is to support Arbor Creek Middle School and your child! The ACMS PTA is dedicated to supporting Arbor Creek’s efforts to provide a quality educational environment for students. By joining, you are supporting those efforts. Studies show that kids perform better in school when parents are involved. Grades are higher. Test scores improve. Attendance increases. Involved parents are informed parents.

What Does the PTA Do?

The Arbor Creek Middle School PTA provides programs and services to parents, students, and teachers. We raise funds to support the staff and students with all the extras the school district budgeting does not provide. We coordinate volunteers for needs throughout the school, organize parent education nights, and host periodic luncheons to appreciate the efforts of staff. We provide scholarships for graduating seniors (ACMS PTA student members are eligible!!), provide funds for classroom support, STAAR snacks, field trip assistance, and more to help defray educational costs. Additionally, we coordinate the National PTA Reflections program to support the arts.

Should My Student Join?

Absolutely! It is never too early to become a leader and support your school. Student members also become eligible for scholarships in high school and can participate in PTA's Reflections Arts Program.
