PTA Information

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 PTA.”

Objects

The Objects of the Davis Elementary PTA, in common with those of the National PTA and the Texas PTA are:

  • To promote the welfare of children and youth in home, school, community and place of worship.

  • To raise the standards of home life.

  • To secure adequate laws for the care and protection of children and youth.

  • To bring into closer relation the home and the school, that parents and teachers may cooperate intelligently in the education of children and youth.

  • To develop between educators and the general public such united efforts as will secure for all children and youth the highest advantages in physical, mental, social and spiritual education.


    • Mission

    The Mission of the Davis Elementary PTA is three-fold:
    1) To support and speak on behalf of children and youth in the schools, in the
    community and before governmental agencies and other organizations that make
    decisions affecting children;
    2) to assist parents in developing the skills they need to raise and protect their
    children; and
    3) to encourage parent and public involvement in the public schools of this nation.

    This year's theme is: "Passport to Achievement"
    We encourage each and every parent at Davis to become a member of
    the PTA. Our goal this year is 100% participation! Ask your family,
    neighbors or businesses you patronize to join. Each membership recieves
    a school directory. The directory is a reference as well as a telephone
    and address book. Please print and return this membership form to your
    child's teacher.
