The PTA

Welcome!

The McDonald Parent Teacher Association is a growing and inclusive organization of enthusiastic parents, teachers and community leaders.

We are dedicated to supporting our school through community-building and fundraising.

PTAs are hugely important in the Seattle Public School district. By supporting our teachers and students, building strong communities, and raising money, effective PTAs help schools become great.

There are lots of ways to contribute. Whether you donate financially, volunteer your time, or more, you're making McDonald Elementary better for our kids. Read More.

Scholarships

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.
