About the Waltrip PTA
Board
Meetings are held at Waltrip High School in the Distance Learning Center and
start around 6:30 P.M. Anyone who wishes to address the board or to put
forth any business before the board may do so.
The PTA is a nonprofit, democratic, voluntary organization
whose membership is open to all persons who are concerned with the welfare
of all children and youth and who are willing to uphold its basic policies,
subscribe to its bylaws, and fulfill the objects of the PTA. More
information about PTA can be found on the national PTA website at
www.pta.org or the Texas PTA

The Waltrip PTA is an
organization consisting primarily of faculty and staff at Waltrip and
parents of students enrolled at Waltrip. Students in grades 9-12 can be
members as well. Our overall goal is to develop united efforts of faculty,
staff, and parents to provide quality education for all students at Waltrip.
Toward this goal we encourage all parents, faculty, and staff to become
members of the PTA. The PTA encourages opportunities for parents to become
involved in volunteering in the school and for faculty and staff to seek
opportunities for parent volunteers.
The Waltrip PTA is
committed to two goals for this academic year: to increase communication to
and from parents of Waltrip students and to continue to raise funds to
enhance Waltrip’s ability to service its students’ needs. To increase
communication we will increase membership in the PTA and build communication
networks through our members. We will utilize the school’s call-out system
and e-mails to provide more information and communication to our members
about upcoming events, testing dates, etc. The PTA fundraisers for this
year are several “choice dress” days set throughout the year and projects
still to be named.
