Membership FAQ's

Will I have to volunteer for something?
Members are not required to volunteer for something when they join the PTA. However, we do encourage members to participate in events and activities whenever they can! Check out our Volunteer page for Volunteer opportunities.

When are PTA meetings held?
PTA meetings are held once a month in the cafeteria usually at 6:00pm. Meetings last about 15 minutes and are typically followed by a different program each month. Check our Calendar for dates and information.

Do I have to attend PTA meetings?
Members are not required to attend PTA meetings, however, it is recommended that members attend as often as they can in order to be up to date on information relevant to the education of the students at Welch. In addition, a quorum is required to pass certain items of business, so having as many members present as possible helps achieve that quorum. Child care is usually provided.
