Membership

Donate to the Valley PTA!

Your donations to the PTA support your child by funding essential educational and curriculum needs at Valley, advocating for children and educators, and building a sense of community. It only costs you $21 to join in, with no required time commitment or volunteerism required.

Your donations will help to directly fund Valley teacher mini-grants to improve the quality of your child’s education, special school events, the 8th grade promotion ceremony, teacher appreciation week, and much more!

Anything you can give, whether time or money, will support your child's potential. We ask    you to please consider a donation of $50 per student attending Valley ($ 21 to “join PTA” and another $29 in the donations box). This is just a suggestion; any amount beyond $21 will help, and if you can go beyond $50, please consider it. All donations (and “membership dues”) are tax deductible. La Costa and Del Mar schools are requesting over $800 per student!

Help invest in your child and your school. Follow this link, “sign up for PTA” (no junk email or commitment from you necessary), and remember to fill in the donation box too:

Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers are an essential part of our success. Participate at whatever level works for you, big or small - every bit counts!

Committee Chairs

Your PTA needs leaders to take on more committee roles. We could use parent volunteers to take the lead on Popsicle Fridays, Grants, Campus Beautification, Restaurant Nights, Red Ribbon Week, Reflections and more. To get involved email vmspta@carlsbadusd.net. 

8th Grade Promotions

This is a fun way to create a memorable experience for our departing 8th graders. To get involved email vmspta@carlsbadusd.net. 

Special Events

Throughout the year, there are many opportunities to volunteer for one-time events and fundraisers. We also often need helpers for Teacher Appreciation week (May), Fundraising Events, and Spirit Wear sales. Keep an eye out in the Principal's newsletter for more information and to sign up.
