About Abingdon PTA

Since 1950, the Abingdon Parent Teacher Association has supported Abingdon Elementary School and the Arlington, Virginia community it serves. Our members work to provide our students the best possible educational and social experience during elementary school and to make Abingdon a great place to work.

Anyone can join the Abingdon PTA. Our members include

parents
guardians
grandparents
school staff and
community members.

Annual membership dues are $10 per individual or $20 per family (two individual memberships).

Each spring, PTA members elect the next school year's executive board from among the ranks of membership. Service on the executive board is a fun and rewarding way for a PTA member to deepen their connection and engagement with the school community.
