PTO GENERAL MEETINGS

​The PTO monthly meetings are a great way to learn about new and ongoing initiatives, hear from the school teachers and administrators, ask questions, contribute ideas, and have direct impact on PTO decisions. The meetings take place 3rd or 4th Thursday of each month at 6:15pm, in the School Auditorium. Childcare with pizza is provided.

CLASS PARENT REPRESENTATIVES (CPRs)

​CPRs - one or two designated parents in each class - provide an essential communication link between the class teacher, parents, and PTO. 
Responsibilities may include: organizing seasonal parties, arranging volunteers for field-trips, or passing along important information to the parents about class/school events and activities.

VOLUNTEER: YOUR CHILD'S CLASSROOM

Throughout the year, CPR(s) will reach out with many chances for you to get involved. Perhaps you can assist with a party, volunteer to chaperone a trip, or send in supplies for a special activity taking place... opportunities abound.

Make sure to fill out the class contact form at the start of the year to stay in the loop. 

ANNUAL DUES DRIVE

Through the annual Dues Drive, the PTO is able to provide funding for professional development, field trips, classroom materials, after-school programming, and various other programs. Donations, of any amount, are completely voluntary, tax deductible, and greatly appreciated! Visit the Dues Drive page to learn more or make an online contribution.
