Joining the PTA doesn’t mean what you think.
When you join, you’re NOT signing up for work.
You can volunteer. But it’s 100% optional and no one will pressure you.
The RSS PTA funds and organizes all those “extra” things that create incredible, lifelong elementary school memories for your child. We’re a group of parent volunteers who work to make Richmond a place where students, teachers, staff, and families want to be and want to stay.
Here’s a sampling of everything the RSS PTA does:
