JOIN THE AWARD-WINNING SMS PTA FOR 2025-2026!
Support the SMS students and teachers by showing that you value your child’s education by joining the PTA. Memberships start at $13 and students are only $7 with a parent membership! As a benefit to members only, you will have access to an online directory as well as PTA member discounts. Student members receive special discounts during our spring and fall socials and have the opportunity to be involved in leadership opportunities. 
Wonderful Panther Families: our goal for membership this year is the Platinum Voice for Every Child award, or 826 members. Membership connects you and your child to our community, supports the $500 scholarship we offer for former Schimelpfenig students, and helps TX PTA advocate for ALL public school children. Additionally, this year we are offering the opportunity for parents to sponsor a membership for a staff member. Please help us reach this goal!
PTA Membership costs are:
- $13.00 for a one-parent membership $7.00 for a student membership
- $22.00 for a dual membership $8.50 for staff member
For any questions, please email Anna Hulse, VP of Membership
