Where your dues go.

These dues help us pay for events for our community, and also help support our teachers and a variety of programs that support your children and school. Your dues also pay for membership in the local, state and national associations. We are also required to pay the county and state to run a PTA, but most of your dues stay right here to provide events and services at WGES for your students.

  • Only paid members can vote at our meetings on the budget, events and bylaws
  • Prefer a check? Make it payable to “Washington Grove Elementary School PTA”
  • Cash is welcome too. Email us to arrange drop-off
  • Payments are processed securely by Givebacks (MemberHub)
  • Can't afford dues? Email us. No family is turned away.

Help another family join.

Our goal is 50 members by December 1. Every adult counts, so a partner or another grown-up in your home can join too. A Pay It Forward gift covers a membership for a family who needs it.
