PTA Membership

It is a new year and we are looking for amazing PTA members! Become a member today to support our students and staff all year long! Membership dues directly support student programs, teacher classroom enrichment items for students, staff lunches and many other needs that Hendrick cannot support with district funds alone. By joining PTA you are not required to donate, volunteer or attend PTA meetings – but we’d love it if you did!


With ONE adult membership AND ONE student membership, your student will receive one free ticket to the fall social! This is a great event where the students LOVE hanging out at school. They play games, listen to music from our amazing DJ, eat pizza and snacks, and most of all, have safe fun with their friends!

Go ahead and sign up today!
