Welcome to West Millbrook Magnet Middle School PTA

The overall purpose of PTA is to make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children. PTA's serve as a forum where parents, educators, administrators, and community members discuss ways to promote quality education,expand opportunity, encourage community involvement, and work for a healthy environment and safe neighborhoods.

PTA Values
  • Collaboration: We work in partnership with a wide array of individuals and organizations to accomplish our agreed-upon goals.
  • Commitment: We are dedicated to promoting children’s health, well-being, and educational success through strong parent, family, and community involvement.
  • Accountability: We acknowledge our obligations. We deliver on our promises.
  • Respect: We value our colleagues and ourselves. We expect the same high quality of effort and thought from ourselves as we do from others.
  • Inclusivity: We invite the stranger and welcome the newcomer. We value and seek input from as wide a spectrum of viewpoints and experiences as possible.
  • Integrity: We act consistently with our beliefs. When we err, we acknowledge the mistake and seek to make amends.

Local PTAs
PTA at the local level is linked to the state PTA and the national PTA organization, forming a nationwide network of members working on behalf of all children and youth. Because of its connections to the state and national PTAs, the local PTA is a valuable resource to its school community with:
  • Access to programs to benefit children, youth, and their families.
  • Recognition and size to influence the formulation of laws, policies, and practices—education or legislative.
