PTO 101: Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT IS THE KVCS PTO?

This one is easy.  The KVCS Parent Teacher Organization is a non-profit organization whose sole purpose is to support the students and staff of Kings Valley Charter School in their mission to provide academic excellence for all students!  Preferably while having fun and creating relationships with parents, staff, and community members.  We do this predominantly by fundraising to help provide the school with items and/or activities that enrich the learning experience.  Previously, we’ve helped provide funds for school supplies, gardening supplies, cafeteria tables, etc. 


WHO CAN BE A MEMBER?

The membership of the PTO shall be open to all adult family, teachers, staff, and community members.


HOW DO I BECOME A MEMBER?

Easy peasy!  All you need to do is complete the membership form!


CAN I VOTE?

A member is able to vote once they have completed a membership form and have attended two of the last four PTO Meetings.


WHEN ARE THE MEETINGS?

Currently the meetings are set for the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 6pm.  


WHERE ARE THE MEETINGS?

Historically, we held meetings in Dallas, Monmouth/Independence, Philomath, and Corvallis and circulated through.  In 2020/21 we did them all online.  We may do a blend of these two this year or something completely different. 


CAN I BE INVOLVED WITHOUT GOING TO MEETINGS?

Absolutely!  Meetings are not a requirement (unless you want to vote).  We can use help for all sorts of different things.  Small projects and big!  The more volunteers we have, the easier it is for everyone to support our school community!!



WHO IS ON THE PTO BOARD…..and are they super intense?

Really, really no.  I promise!  Your current board officers are here.


We welcome all KVCS community members from all walks of life.  Our goal is happy (not overwhelmed) volunteers, and a supported school community.
