Jacksonville has many chapters of the Parent and Teacher Association (PTA) and they are always a great way to get involved and stay involved in your child's school.

Education is key to your child's success in life, and being part of that is a vital part to learning.  It is true, we are in tough times.  Many kids are in single family households or both parents working or parents with more than one job.  This means the time spent with your kids diminishes. 

Parent involvement is crucial to the health and well-being of a child. As a parent, you are the most important influence in your child's success in school and in life. In this role, you have a fresh opportunity every day to get involved with your child.

Parent involvement in childrens education allows kids to perform better in school, and navigate more easily some of the challenges of growing up, such as bullying.

PTA is committed to being the leading resource for parent involvement. We offer comprehensive resources for helping parents get involved and stay involved in the lives of their children. Look through these parent involvement categories and learn about new ways you can make a difference in your child's life. This section also serves as a clearinghouse for parent involvement ideas and resources.

Schools open in Duval, Clay and St. John's County on August 23rd.  Get involved today to fit it into your schedule! Find out where your local PTA, click here.  Don't forget to check their newsroom and follow them on Twitter.
