​SUPPORT YOUR SCHOOL

FROM THE TEXAS PTA/AUSTIN COUNCIL OF PTAS:

ACPTA ADVOCACY

HB3 ball is in the Senate's court, so to speak. It's already been highly vetted and almost unanimously passed the House. 
 
Send a letter to your state senator and the chair and vice-chair of the Senate Education Committee, and ask them to support the landmark bill that was sent to them from the House.

Takes less than a minute.

ACPTA Back the Future 2019-2020

September 28 at the AISD PAC

Please make plans to join us on September 28, 2019, for the second annual Back the Future event! It’s a free, fun event for families and open to all. Last year’s event featured 100 exhibitors and brought people from more than 70 AISD schools. Visitors enjoyed student performances, tons of exciting free activities, some great free food and lots of terrific information for your PTA. The goal is to connect local organizations with parent leaders, so you can invite them to bring great programs to your campus. Most exhibitors offer free programs and more than half offer programs in Spanish and other languages.
 
Please save the date! If you want to help organize this great event, please email president@austincouncilpta.org. If your students would like to perform, please email vpverticalteams@austincouncilpta.org. We hope to see you there!
