Exciting July Updates: Preparing for the New School Year and Key Dates to Remember

July is a busy month for families and educators as preparations ramp up for the new school year. This year, many are already gearing up with school supply lists and important events on the calendar. One highlight was attending the Texas PTA Launch, the largest annual training and leadership conference for PTA leaders across Texas. This event brought together over 2,000 participants for workshops, networking, and planning that will benefit students and families in the coming months.

Texas PTA Launch Conference Highlights

The Texas PTA Launch is a key event for community leaders and parents involved in education. This year’s conference offered:

• Educational workshops focused on student success and family engagement

• Opportunities to connect with other PTA leaders from across the state
