parent association
Mothers and fathers
A parent association is an organized group of parents at a school who coordinate volunteer activities, raise funds, and advocate for students' interests.
These groups go by various names—PTA (Parent-Teacher Association), PTO (Parent-Teacher Organization), or simply parent association—but serve similar functions: The parent association is hosting a bake sale Friday.
They typically work alongside school administrators on issues like playground equipment, field trips, and school policies.
