HOW TO CONNECT

SIGN UP FOR MEMBERSHIP TOOLKIT (MTK): When you create an MTK account on this site you can opt in to PTA emails, read the weekly PTA Wednesday newsletter, buy event items, or make donations. 

BECOME A PTA MEMBER: Becoming a member is the ONLY way to access the opt-in directory. Memberships and donations fund programs, events, school grants and staff support. Every family is welcome—whether you volunteer once, lead an event, or simply attend one. If you or your family is experiencing financial hardship but would like to become a PTA member, please contact BES school counselor, Jenny Fleming at Jennifer_L_Fleming@mcpsmd.org.
