We LOVE our volunteers, but being a PTA member does not mean you need to volunteer.
It simply means that you support PTA & all the ways we support our schools and students in Miller Place.
Will you join us in supporting our kids?
The number-one reason to join our PTSA is for your child & ALL our children. Simply put, the more members who are a part of PTSA, the more support our children will receive. Further, students who are student members of the PTSA will be eligible to receive qualified volunteer hours.
In addition, students do better when their families are involved at school. Grades are higher. Test scores rise. Self-esteem grows. Schools improve.
On a larger scale, your membership helps create a louder voice for state and national PTA, as they advocate & lobby for our children and schools.
No! We understand you're busy...joining doesn't mean you need to do anything. You aren’t required to be a volunteer or even attend meetings. If your schedule doesn't allow, no worries at all, we totally get it.
On the other hand, we’d welcome your participation / help / ideas if you do have the time & are eager to contribute!
We respect whatever level of involvement you want to have.
Any community member who believes they will be supportive of the PTA's mission to provide great opportunities for our students is encouraged to join the PTA, including:
• parents
• teachers / staff
• students
• homeschooling families
• any resident districted to Miller Place school district
The "student membership" category give students the option to become more involved & prepare them for future leadership opportunities.
These students who are members will be encouraged to attend meetings & vote. They'll be eligible to obtain qualified volunteer hours, as well as to represent their fellow students on the Executive Board as Student Representative.
With that said, it’s completely optional. Parents can sign up for membership without their child, or add their child as a student member, entirely your choice!
Do I need to be a member to vote?
Yes, only members are permitted to vote (in elections & decisions).
Do I need to be a member for my child to attend PTA events / activities?
No. Your child will be welcomed at PTA events / activities regardless of whether or not your family joins the PTA as a paid member. As a non-member, you will pay the regular purchase price for each event you wish to attend.
If you'd like to receive the discounted members-only price for events, please sign up to become a member.
Do I need to be a member to participate in a PTA fundraiser?
No! All are welcome to participate in fundraisers, including those outside Miller Place.
Do I need to be a member to volunteer at events?
We may seek additional help at certain events. If you have interest in volunteering, please subscribe to updates to be notified about upcoming events & fundraisers.
