What is a "parent-teacher association"?

A parent-teacher association (PTA) is an organization made up of parents and teachers working together to support and improve the educational experience for students. PTAs often organize events, fundraisers, and activities that benefit the school, and they serve as a bridge between parents and the school staff. The association provides a platform for parents to be involved in school decisions and to collaborate with teachers on ways to enhance students' learning environments. PTAs also help foster communication between the home and school, ensuring that both parents and teachers are working together to support student success.
