PTA

Purpose

The PTA’s purpose is to make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children.

Through McKinley’s PTA, we balance fundraising to help supplement our children’s educational experience with events to build our community.  At McKinley, “ALL our children are all OUR children.”  

The money raised by the PTA supplements the school site budget so that McKinley can offer arts enrichment, extra staffing (i.e., class-size reduction teacher in the upper grades), staff to provide lunchtime & recess support, school supplies, gardening projects, and a number of school-wide events.

Learn more at these links about our PTA's Fundraising, Events, and Committees. 

Join the PTA

Your PTA membership is incredibly valuable to our kids, our school, and our community.  McKinley families can now pay PTA dues electronically through the Totem link below.  Please click on the button below to make your payment. Dues are $5 per person, plus $1.00 to cover the Totem service charge.

Please be sure to enter each member’s name and the classroom(s) that the member(s) is/are associated with.

As always, donations which will go toward memberships for families who cannot afford dues are welcome and appreciated.  Please be sure to mention if your payment includes an additional donation.
