Passport to Achievement with Renner PTA

Passport to AchievementIt’s not too late to join the other 1000+ members of the Renner PTA. We still have room for many, many more. All adults are welcome to join parents, grandparents, guardians, aunts, uncles and friends. For a low yearly cost, you can make a difference and help with making school a ‘Passport to Achievement’ for all children. Everyone is a winner with the PTA!

With your help, the Renner PTA, Texas PTA and National PTA are working hard on behalf of our children and youth. Your membership fee includes dues for all of these, plus allows you to receive a free copy of the Renner Student Directory. This directory contains grade lists, teacher listings, family listings and other helpful information for the school and community. The PTA also provides the agendas for every student at Renner, which gives you another benefit for the dues you are paying.

If you have not already joined, there’s still time. Family (2 adult) memberships are just $18.00 and a Single membership is only $15.00. Remember this includes a copy of the Renner Student Directory. We’d like to order a copy for your family. To join, pick up a Renner Middle School PTA Membership & Student Directory Information form in the front office, and return it with your check payable to the Renner PTA.

Any questions, please call Jill Dardick at 972-378-3913 or email membership@rennerpta.org. This form is available in English and Spanish. Also, please let us know if you are a Texas PTA Life Member and would like to claim this at the Renner PTA.

Here’s the Membership Form [.doc file].

You can also get information about PTA from the following: What is PTA? (.doc file) [.doc file]
