Henderson Mill PTA

WHAT IS PTA?
HMES Parent Teacher Association is part of the national, non-profit PTA organization, governed by rules and by-laws, which provide a way for parents to get involved in their children's education. We are led by volunteers and are accountable to parents and the school. We consist of an elected executive board, committee chairs and all the members.

WHO CAN JOIN PTA?
Parents, teachers, relatives, and community members can join PTA. We want everyone involved! We have learned that the main thing parents want from a school is to help their child succeed academically, emotionally, and personally. PTA bridges the gap between home and school. By you getting involved with PTA, the child who benefits the most is your own.

WHAT DO MY DUES PAY FOR?
Our members pay dues that include a small portion for the state and national PTA offices. In return, local PTAs and members receive access to many valuable resources, information, and training programs. Your dues entitle you to attend PTA meetings and vote on business matters such as the PTA Budget, Meeting Minutes and/or changes in leadership. National PTA and Georgia PTA offer a variety of PTA Member Benefits from businesses and organizations. Some are ongoing, while others are seasonal or event related. Use your PTA membership card to take advantage of these benefits. Go to http://www.georgiapta.org/join-pta/membership-benefits/ for current offers.
