Oh He....... No!!! They lost a volunteer, period. OP do not go back. DO NOT. There is no requirement that you participate in PTA and it is a myth that your child will suffer if you do not volunteer at school.
Keep your pride and volunteer for an organization who values you. I don't agree with all the Boy Scout principles, but my sons were interested, so I volunteered there. Men were far and away easier to work with than the cliquey women! Church and Sunday School were also places where my efforts were valued and I was unjudged.
Life is too short to put up with BS like that and you are NOT in high school any longer.
While I agree that life is too short to deal with this stuff, the opposite is also true.

OP is young, she is in a private school which is cliquey, and wants to participate in PTA. I say hang in there and give it a go.
Yes it was an eye opener to her how much it is like HS again unfortunately but you know what, don't let the suckers get you down.
Eventually her "K" child will be older and so will she. It happens.
