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.
To volunteer at the school, you must first apply to be a volunteer with the school district. This has to be done 2 weeks before volunteering. The PTA can provide financial help to cover the fees for the background check, etc.
There are also lots of opportunities to volunteer with the PTA. Check out the list of things we need help with. If you see anything you would like to volunteer for, email us (dearbornparkpta@googlegroups.com).
