    • PTSA membership shows your child that school matters.  Decades worth of research show that when parents are involved, students perform better in school.  That alone is worth the price of PTA dues! 

    • Through the PTSA you can meet other parents, your children’s classmates, and the leadership and staff of your school.  You will make new friends, finding other parents who share your interests, passions, and concerns. 

    • Share your culture through the PTSA.  PTSAs in Montgomery County benefit from the richness of our local community.  Our children benefit from the exposure to the wealth of cultures that make up our local communities.  And parents who are bilingual or multilingual are a wonderful resource to our diverse community. 

    • Ridgeview PTSA organizes a variety of events and activities for students and families, celebrates staff, educates parents, and often raises funds to enrich your child’s educational experience.  Your membership supports these events, even if you do not have time to volunteer yourself. 

    • The PTSA is your voice at Ridgeview, in Montgomery County Public Schools, and beyond.  PTSA membership gives you a say in what happens at your school and is a factor in decisions made countywide.  Be heard. 

    • As a PTSA member, you stand together with the broader community before the Board of Education and the Montgomery County Council, and our numbers—MCCPTA had about 50,000 members last year and we hope to grow to 75,000—give strength to our positions.  MCCPTA has a voice in everything from school construction to safety concerns to report card grading standards.  You want to be heard?  Join the Ridgeview PTSA.       

    Please join Ridgeview PTSA; you will become part of our school, MCCPTA, Maryland PTA, and National PTA.  You, your child, and every member of our community benefit.  Your membership matters.
