GET INVOLVED
The PTA isn't just about being a volunteer. There are many ways to get involved with the PTA.
Be a passive member – Pay your $10 annual dues and never even attend a PTA meeting! This gets you membership to Ellis PTA as well as Nevada and National PTA. Our state and national cohorts do a lot of child advocacy work and every additional member helps them in their cause when they speak with legislators.
​
Attend PTA meetings – PTA meetings are your opportunity to get an update on upcoming events and find out what's going on at the school. And while everyone can attend a PTA meeting, only current PTA members may make motions, discuss, and vote.
​
Donate – Don’t have time but still want to contribute? There are many opportunities to show your support by donating money and/or supplies.
Volunteer at the school – Our PTA coordinates several events and activities throughout the school year. As we are entirely volunteer-led, we are always looking for people who can help. You can volunteer as little or as much as you’d like! Note that many volunteer opportunities during the school day require volunteers to badged with CCSD. Learn more about how to get badged.
Volunteer outside of school – Occasionally we need volunteers who can help us collect Costco orders, do work from home, or otherwise.
Participate in a committee – We’re always looking for volunteers who want to increase their level of involvement and participate in a committee.
Head a committee – Want to take on more responsibility? We’d love to speak with you about how you can contribute in a larger capacity. Please contact us.
