Q: Why should I become a member?
A: The HPTA directly supports your child and can provide you with important information through its email communications.
Q: How does the HPTA support my child?
A: The HPTA brings enrichment programs into your child's classroom, coordinates afterschool extracurricular programs, lines up volunteers to help your child in the library art and computer room, runs parent programs (like the Kindergarten Ice Cream Social and "Beating the Homework Wars") and family fun events (like the Harlem Wizards, Chili Cook-Off, Mini Marathon and Carnival), just to name a few.
 Your membership is extremely valuable to the HPTA. Not only do your membership dues help to support our programs, but joining shows that you support the HPTA in our efforts to enhance our children's educational experience. Since the 1993/1994 school year, the HPTA has budgeted $2.1 million to benefit all children in the school system.
Support the organization that supports your kids!
How to Use the Online Registration System:
- Introduction Screen - When you first click the link above the system will let you know that only Parents or Teachers over age 18 may register for HPTA Membership. Click "Continue."
- Sign In Screen - If you are a new member, just enter your email address and a password will be emailed to you. If you are a renewing member, please sign in with your email address and password from last year. After entering your email and password, click "Submit."
- Participant Selection Screen - If you are a new member, please enter your full contact information and click "Submit." If you are a renewing member, please click "Register" next to your name in the list. Your contact information from last year will appear. Please make sure that it is still correct, then click "Submit." The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), requires that we ask for your birth date. The system also uses the birth date to ensure that any financial transactions are conducted by persons of age 18 or older.
- Supplemental Information Screen - Select Family or Teacher Membership. Select your child(ren)'s grades for the 2010-11 school year from the drop-down menus, oldest child first. Please check-off your email subscription preferences. If you entered more than one email address on the previous page, please let us know which one you would prefer we use for correspondence. Write "ALL" if you would like to receive email correspondence from us at multiple addresses. Click "Submit Information."
- Registration Review Screen - Please review your registration information. Click "Change" to make changes. If everything looks correct click "Pay Now" to complete the payment process. It is not necessary to register both yourself and your spouse for membership, just one family membership covers the whole family. You may, however, add a second email address during the Participant Selection Process if your spouse would also like to receive our emails.
- Payment Screen - Please enter your credit card billing address and click the checkbox below to confirm. Please enter your credit card or bank account information. We accept payment by MasterCard, VISA or eCheck. Click "Submit Payment." You should receive an email confirmation of your transaction sent to the email address entered under billing information.
If you have any difficulties using the online system, please do not hesitate to contact the HPTA membership chair at membership@hptaonline.com.

What do you love about the HPTA?
"Working together for same cause - investment in our children's education."
"Knowing I am directly helping my local school system and meeting other parents."
"The access to the schools, friendships with like-minded parents, opportunities to see my students in the school setting."
"It's a great group of smart, caring people."
"How it enriches / supplements my children's experience in the Hopkinton Public Schools. Imagine 'A year without a PTA?' Our kids would miss so much."
