FOUNDATIONS Essentials (formerly named FOUNDATIONS Leader Orientation) is coming soon. The new training video will be available on txpta.org in both english and spanish. 

FOUNDATIONS Essentials is an introductory course for new PTA Leaders. All board members are required to complete it only once in their PTA service, and there is a $10 fee to access the course material.

Essentials is only offered online through Texas PTA and can be accessed via the buttons at the bottom of the page.

• PTA Leaders have 14 days from the date of registration to complete all three sections. Allowing the 14-day window to lapse will result in additional registration fees.

• There are 5 questions at the end of the course which must be answered correctly to receive a certificate for the training.

• Once complete, PTA Leaders may access a completion certificate to be provided to their PTA secretary. A copy of the completion certificate will also serve as your receipt for reimbursement. It displays the attendee name and date of completion. The registration and reimbursement amount is a flat $10.

While the bylaws state new board members must complete FOUNDATIONS requirements no later than October 15, it's important that all PTA Leaders complete the training during their first year of service, regardless of the date. If you have any questions, please contact the Texas PTA Programs Team. (below)
