Washington State PTA Vision and Mission
WSPTA Vision
Making every child's potential a reality
WSPTA Mission
PTA is a powerful voice for all children.
PTA is a relevant resource for families, schools and communities.
PTA is a strong advocate for the well-being and education of every child.
The WSPTA accomplishes this mission by:
Speaking on behalf of children and youth in the schools, in the community, and before governmental bodies and other organizations that make decisions affecting children;
Supporting parents* in developing skills to raise, protect and advocate for their children;
Encouraging parent*, teacher, student and community involvement;
Promoting opportunities for positive outcomes for children; and
Being a financially stable, well-managed organization that promotes diversity, provides quality service, models best practices and values its members and employees.
*Parent may include adults who play an important role in a child’s family life since other adults (grandparents, aunts, uncles, or guardians) may carry the primary responsibility for a child’s health, welfare, education and safety.
