California PTA Convention

Pre-registration for the California State PTA Convention is still available through April 20 online at www.capta.org, or through regular mail postmarked by April 20.

After this date, you may still register onsite, but the fees go up to $200. The fees are non-refundable. You can easily change the name of the delegate or change your workshop selections online.

Housing through the San Jose Visitors Bureau is available through April 13, after which you may contact the hotel directly. All CAPTA Convention information is available at www.capta.org.

Fourth District PTA registration fees have been lowered this year to $18. Please check our website, www.fourthdistrictpta.org, for registration and information forms. Remember that you must register with Fourth District PTA and with California State PTA.

The Fourth District PTA Delegate Orientation and Open House was such a success last year that we will again hold this event. Come to the district office on Tuesday, April 21, between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. You will find informative Convention Stations, staffed by happy Fourth District PTA Convention Committee members. Delegate packets and accessories will be available for pick up. All district delegates are cordially invited to attend, check out the office, meet the staff, enjoy great hospitality, and get in the convention mood!

Our “Happiest District on Earth” Dinner, to be held at convention on Friday, May 1, is simply not to be missed! It promises to be a fun, fully-costumed night! As always, each council will be expected to present a song or poem. The reservation deadline for the dinner is April 21, with some possible seating available through April 27, if space exists. The cost is $42. The reservation form and dinner flyer are on our website. The dinner is open to everyone!

Don’t miss out on a chance to get acquainted with our incoming Fourth District PTA president, Patty Jordan, at our convention hospitality suite in the San Jose Marriott. All kinds of initiations are planned!

Seriously now, the California State PTA Convention is one of the most empowering events of the PTA year. This investment of your time and PTA funds will, without a doubt, ensure a better future for our children. Your Fourth District PTA Convention Committee is dedicated to making this happen.
