PTA Membership
PTA Membership is open to anyone
PTA membership is open, without discrimination, to anyone who believes in and supports the mission, purposes and principles of PTA
All faculty, parents, grandparents, community members, etc. are invited and encouraged to join the Pathfinder Elementary PTA! There are no time, meeting, or volunteer requirements to join the PTA; we just welcome the support and want you to be as involved as you'd like to be (although we'd certainly love to have you at all of our meetings and events)!
You may join as an individual, family, or business, and you may join at any point during the school year.
Every individual who is a member of Pathfinder PTA is, by virtue of that fact, a member of the National PTA and of the Missouri PTA and is entitled to all the benefits of such memberships. For more info: National PTA , Missouri PTA
As a PTA member, you'll receive a voice within our PTA, communication and connection with teachers and administrators within your school, and a network to meet other parents, build rapport and discuss parenting issues. We are excited to meet and team up with you!

Other Ways to Support our PTA
Sponsor A Pirate
Consider sponsoring a Pirate! Each year the PTA provides all Pathfinder Pirates with field trips, classroom parties, learning tools for classrooms, Leadership shirts, recess equipment, MAP snacks, and more. The PTA would not be able to provide these items without Memberships and support from our Pathfinder community. Any level of sponsorship would be considered invaluable to our Pathfinder Pirates!
