The Dearborn International School Parent Teacher Association (PTA), is an opportunity for student families and the broader community to partner with staff to help support our school. The PTA builds community and secures resources for school events and classroom needs. PTA involvement looks like volunteering, coordinating events, fundraising and participating so your family and values are seen and heard at Dearborn. Membership is open to all! When you sign up as a PTA member, your participation benefits your child and our entire school community. Join the PTA and you will grow your school connections and relationships while influencing our school culture so everyone feels a sense of belonging.
Becoming a member also gives you access to Washington State PTA membership discounts.
