Yes! Membership is valid for 1 year until June 30th. Please join each year so that the PTA can continue to provide the tools, resources, and materials year after year. - Do I have to have a child at Turner Creek Elementary School to join?

No time commitment is required. We understand that donating time is not an option for everyone. Each and every member’s dues helps support the school regardless of how much time they contribute. - I want to volunteer occasionally but can’t commit to a board member role. Can I still get involved?

There are opportunities for everyone at any level of time commitment or responsibility. Please reach out to [email protected] about volunteer opportunities. - If I can’t volunteer, what do my dues go towards?
Many different PTA objectives: Teacher grants, technology purchases, and various clubs.
