Membership
By joining the PTA, you help us meet our school's needs that are outside the scope of their budget. You also get great discounts, locally and nationally. When you go a step further and volunteer to help with events—or join our board— you set a fine example for our students, and greatly encourage our teachers and staff.

Go to meetings?

The #1 reason to join the PTA is to support Independence Elementary School and your child! The IES PTA is dedicated to supporting Independence’s efforts to provide a quality educational environment for students. By joining, you are supporting those efforts.
