About Our PTA
The Briarlake Elementary Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is a forum where parents, teachers, administrators, and other concerned adults discuss ways to promote quality education, encourage community involvement, and work for a healthy and safe school environment to best support our students.
PTA is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit association that prides itself on being a powerful voice for all children, a relevant resource for families and communities, and a strong advocate for public education. Briarlake Elementary is a part of both the GA PTA and the National Parent Teacher Association. National PTA is the oldest and largest child advocacy association in America with a mission of making every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children.
About PTA Membership
Membership in PTA is open to anyone who supports the PTA mission and wants to be involved and make a difference for the education, health, and welfare of children and youth.
By joining the PTA, you help us meet our school's needs that are outside the scope of their budget. You also support the state level advocacy through GA PTA and amplify their voice for public schools.
Membership is $12 per adult. Membership gives you voting rights at any PTA general meeting as well as access to the member directory and weekly PTA newsletter.
If you join the PTA, you are not obligated to go to meetings, but you are always welcome! Also, joining the PTA is not the same as volunteering. If you choose to volunteer we would LOVE the help—but volunteering is not required.

Join PTA
GA PTA memberships are now required to be done through TOTEM, which is separate from registering with our school membership platform, Membership Toolkit.
Please note that registering with Membership Toolkit is NOT the same as joining the PTA, so be sure to complete the full process. A Membership Toolkit account enables members at Briarlake to receive all relevant information, order items from our online store, and is our school’s local database.
(1) Start or renew your PTA membership through TOTEM here!
(2) Update your information through Membership Toolkit here!
