PTA Membership does not require volunteering or any kind of time commitment. We only ask that you help support the programs and events that we provide for ALL students, ALL staff and ALL families throughout our community. Remember that we all share the same goal of making our child’s middle school experience a rewarding one.  And the more active participants our PTA has, the more we can offer to our students and the CMS staff. Your voice is important!

What are my dues and donations used for?

Your membership dues enable the PTA to provide services for both the students and staff at Carpenter. This source of funds will be especially important in the coming years due to recent legislation which will reduce the amount of government funding for Texas schools.  The PTA funds programs and activities that enrich our children’s school experience.  We strive to provide diverse programs for student and parents alike.  Supporting the teachers by easing and supporting the educational experience of our students is important.and the costs associated with such, are real.  In other words, Your dues buy a lot!

Our goal is 100% family and staff membership.
