Frequently Asked Questions About the Official PTA Kit

Q: I can’t find any information on the 2009 PTA Back-to-School Kit. Is there a kit this year?
A: The PTA Back-to-School Kit is now The Official PTA Kit—PTA’s Big Box of Possibilities—to reflect its usefulness throughout the entire school year. The kit still contains great resources to help PTA leaders serve their communities and run their local units: easy-to-use primers for the president, treasurer, membership chair, and programs chair; membership and marketing tools; father involvement materials; program resources; and special offers from national partners. The kit’s landing page is PTA.org/OfficialKit.

Q: How can I order additional materials from the kit?
A: Contact your state PTA office for information on how to obtain more membership and program brochures. Brochures, Quick-Reference Guides, and other select materials from the kit are also available for download on the PTA national website at PTA.org/OfficialKit.

Extra copies of the entire kit can be purchased for $35 each at PTA.org/BuyAKit. Quantities are limited. Only PTAs may order kits.

Q: Our school doesn’t have a PTA, but I’d like to request a kit.
A: The Official PTA Kit is available exclusively to PTAs. To find out how to start a unit click here or call the PTA Information Center at (800) 307-4782.

Q: We’re a newly chartered PTA. Can we still get a kit?
A: Contact your state PTA office about requesting an Official PTA Kit. Newly chartered units are eligible to receive a free kit (while supplies last). The national PTA office does account for new units when determining the quantity of kits to be produced.
