Welcome
Welcome to the Rosa Parks-Edison PTA website!
We are a member of the National Parent Teacher Association and mirror their mission statement and purpose.
The Mission of the Parent Teacher Association
- To support and speak on behalf of children and youth in the schools, in the community, and before governmental bodies and other organizations that make decisions affecting children;
- To assist parents in developing the skills they need to raise and protect their children;
- To encourage parent and public involvement in the public schools of this nation.
The Purposes of the Parent Teacher Association
- To promote the welfare of the children and youth in home, school, community, and place of worship.
- To raise the standards of home life.
- To secure adequate laws for the care and protection of children and youth.
- To bring into closer relation the home and the school, that parents and teachers may cooperate intelligently in the education of children and youth.
- To develop between educators and the general public such united efforts as will secure for all children and youth the highest advantages in physical, mental, social, and spiritual education.
The PTA at the local level is linked to the state PTA and National PTA, forming a nationwide network of members working on behalf of all children and youth.
Because of its connections to the state and National PTAs, the local PTA is a valuable resource to its school community with:
- access to programs to benefit children, youth, and their families, and
- the recognition and size to influence the formulation of laws, policies, and practices—education or legislative.
If you are a parent of a student at Rosa Parks-Edison Elementary we’d love for you to join our organization to help improve the lives and education of our children and students.
