Parent Teacher Association (PTA)
Richardson Parent Teacher Association(PTA) is a collaborative group of Richardson parents and teachers who work together to support the school and the success of the students. PTA sponsors many events throughout the year and they support the teachers and programs at Richardson financially.

What is the purpose of the PTA?
The purpose of the PTA is to work with parents, teachers, and staff to enhance the student educational experience. The PTA organizes fundraisers and events to raise money to benefit students. The money raised goes directly back to kids in the form of classroom materials, field trips, school assemblies, and more. PTA members make decisions on how to best allocate funds.

- Get to better know your child's teacher, our principal, and connect with other parents.
- Learn more about the school.
- Help make decisions that affect your school and your child.
- Research shows that parent involvement greatly affects the success rate of students in a positive way.
