Become a PTA Member

PTA members help shape the various PTA activities and decisions which directly benefits our students and teachers. All family members, including students are welcome to become Brookvale PTA members and attend our meetings. However, only adults can vote on Brookvale PTA decisions at the meetings. If you were a PTA member last year, you will still need to join this year.

Memberships are $10 per member.

Your Brookvale PTA membership includes a membership in the California State PTA as well. As a member of California State PTA, you advocate for children, promote parent and family involvement in schools, and improve the lives of all children and families. Here are a few extra perks of membership available exclusively to CAPTA members.

Brookvale PTA uses Konstella (CODE: tELklf) to communicate with members and volunteers, organize committees, share information on PTA programs, and generally let parents connect directly with the PTA board and with each other. We encourage all parents to sign up. (If you have a Konstella account from last year, you do not need to create another).

We also invite you to our online community at www.facebook.com/BrookvalePta/ to connect with other Brookvale parents.
