Oregon PTA

If you need to upload your membership list to the Oregon PTA website, we have created a template for you. Email [email protected] if you need help with this https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ei61R51p5MBj3L3dwY0p0OhaImaPOe3jc3_KTYvO0kU/copy

We are pleased to announce Oregonpta.com is now live! While we are still awaiting the return of our oregonpta.org domain, https://oregonpta.com contains the entirety of our website, including leader resources, advocacy information, and membership sign-up. We'd like to take a moment to thank the volunteers who made this happen and all our members who have reached out to express support over the last month. There is still work to do, but we are excited to have the site open and accessible to everyone.

If you experience issues with the website, please let us know at [email protected]. As a reminder, all OPTA Board members can be reached at email addresses ending in .com instead of .org.

We hope the school year is off to a great start for all of you!
