A parent teacher organization (PTO) gives parents and teachers the opportunity to work together to supplement and enrich the educational experience. And with today's tight budgets, a strong, well-functioning PTO can be a teacher's most important ally when it comes to achieving curricular and fundraising goals.
The number one reason to join the Parent Teacher Organization is to benefit your child. In doing so, you also help your school. But there are many more PTO advantages:

Get Connected
There’s no better way to know what’s happening in your school.
Tap into a Network
PTO functions are opportunities to meet other parents and teachers, building rapport and discussing issues that are on your mind. You can share ideas, concerns, and experiences.
Watch Yourself Grow
By volunteering with your PTO, you put your skills and hobbies to use for a noble cause—your child and all children in the community. Speak Up. PTO can be a way for you to more effectively suggest change at your child’s school.
Witness Improvement
By getting involved at your child’s school you’ll be part of the solution, helping make positive changes. Our PTO plays an important role by supporting building improvements through advocacy and play an important role in fundraising for curriculum based programs and social/family events.
Be a Role Model
By becoming a PTO member, you’ll be demonstrating to your child the importance you place on education.
