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 Teacher Association 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.
Support Your Child
You can help your child by being a role model, showing them that you value education, and providing opportunities to explore the arts and develop critical thinking skills.
Get Connected
PTA is a great way to learn what's happening at school and connect with other parents and teachers through meetings and events.
Access Resources
PTA offers a variety of programs for parents and students, and you can access resources and grants to support your family engagement efforts.
Advocate for Children
PTA advocates for all children and can be a forum for idea exchange. You can use your voice to improve your school and gain national visibility for your efforts.
Have Fun
PTA hosts fun, educational clubs, programs, and events for families. You can also meet new people and enjoy money-saving deals.
Gain Experience
Volunteering with PTA is a great way to put your skills and hobbies to use for a good cause. You can also transform your parent leadership into professional development.
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.
