Join PTA

Visit the Join PTA website, select Garland ISD, then choose Austin Academy. 

Purpose of PTA

A critical key to a successful education is the family. Austin Academy is a member of the National Parent Teacher Association (PTA). Both parents and community members are invited to become integral members of the school "family," and serve in many capacities throughout the school.

Your involvement in your child's education is more important than you know. If you have talents or abilities that might provide support or assistance to our school, please let us know! Please join our PTA today! 

If you would like to stay up to date on PTA news and events, as well as ways that you can volunteer, please join the Austin Academy parents facebook page and the Austin Academy (AAE) PTA facebook page.
