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 website at www.txpta.org  

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.
