PTA member

Involved school parent

A PTA member is someone who belongs to a parent-teacher association, a volunteer organization at a school that coordinates activities, fundraisers, and communication between families and educators.

The term often carries connotations of suburban domesticity and enthusiastic involvement in children's education: She's the quintessential PTA member, organizing bake sales and chaperoning field trips.
