Become an ISD PTA Member

 

The ISD Parent Teacher Association serves to support the education of our children and the school community through educational enrichment events, cultural partnerships, community building initiatives and funding of educational purchases for the school. The PTA is made up of parents like you, as well as teachers and school staff who support our school by giving donations, volunteering their time and using their voice to raise the level of our children's educational experience and the strength of our community.


The PTA can offer financial support and flexibility outside of the school’s budget. It can enhance our faculty’s creativity and ability to inspire our children. The PTA spends approximately $300 per student every year in programs that enrich their education. While there are other fundraising events that will take place throughout the school year, the Membership Drive is the most important fundraising event we do all year and accounts for 50% of our fundraising budget. We are asking for your support today.

 

Each year, the ISD PTA raises funds through our Membership Drive to support initiatives including:
