Our PTA board consists of parents and teachers voted on by PTA membership April 2011. Members of the board are passionate about making McDonald Elementary a great school, and putting in place the building blocks that will enable the PTA to support it for years to come.

Seattle's best and strongest public schools have strong, effective PTA's. It's easy to join...

The PTA asks for admission fees or donations to many of our events. If your family can afford to pay, that's great, because the money goes into the PTA's operating fund and supports the school.

But we hold these events for all McDonald families. There are many families in our neighborhood who, from time to time, aren't able to pay to attend these events.

We still want you there!

If you need a discounted or free ticket let us know.  Read more to find out how to contact us.

Do you have an idea for something you would like to see McDonald put into action? Fundraising ideas, academic programs, new procedures... if you want to make it happen, take the first step by reviewing how the PTA makes decisions and decide what the next step is for you.

Get ready to move! On October 5th, McDonald International students will run and walk to raise money for our school. Get all the details on what you can do to get started now!
