Why Join The Guild?

The #1 reason to join the Guild is to benefit your child. In doing so, you also help our school. As a Guild member, you can access our online student directory. This directory can help you in sending out birthday invites, contacting a friend for a playdate, getting to know others in your child's class, etc. You also will receive important updates about MTA Guild programs, events, volunteer opportunities, and ways to be directly involved in your student's education. In addition, you will receive via email the Guild’s Hoots & Hollers weekly e-newsletter, as well as reminders and notifications about all the exciting events at MTA.

But there are many more advantages:

• Get Connected – there is no better way to know what’s happening at MTA.
• Discover Great Resources – The Guild offers a variety of programs designed for students, as well as parents.
• Tap into a Network – The Guild functions provide opportunities to meet other parents and teachers, build rapport, and discuss parenting issues that are on your mind.
• Watch yourself grow – By volunteering at MTA, you gain valuable experiences and personal confidence. It’s an opportunity to put your skills and hobbies to good use for a good cause.
• Speak Up - Because the Guild is a forum for exchanging ideas, you are encouraged to make suggestions, participate, and be part of positive improvements at MTA.
• Help Your Child Succeed – The Guild fosters parent involvement. Parent involvement has been proven by research to be the greatest predictor of student success.
• Witness Improvement – By getting involved, you will be part of the solution, helping make positive changes. Local APTs play an important role in fundraising to provide building improvements, curriculum-based programs, and social events – all vital to the school’s success.
• Be a Role Model – By becoming a Guild member, you will be demonstrating to your child the importance you place on their education.

 **Guild memberships are good for the current school year.

Our goal is 100% participation!

Anyone can join The Guild: parents, students, grandparents, business owners, friends, etc.

***A special note to Grandparents! — Welcome!  If you are signing up as a grandparent or extended family member, add your grandchildren's names to your account in the student section. Just be sure to select "Grandparent/Extended Family" (from the "How are you connected to our school" list)  to avoid confusing our database :)
