Parent-Teacher Organization Newsletter
September 2025
Thanks for checking out our first PTO newsletter of 2025! In the year ahead, we plan to send out a quarterly newsletter to give families information about upcoming events, as well as let you know how your contributions are benefitting the students at Oak Brook.
What Does the Oak Brook Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) Do?
The Oak Brook Elementary PTO includes parents, guardians, teachers, and staff members, not just the PTO Board...it's everyone! We are glad you're here.
The purpose of the PTO is to enhance and support the educational experience for students at Oak Brook Elementary school, to develop a closer connection between school and home by encouraging family involvement, and to improve the environment at Oak Brook Elementary through volunteer and financial support.
Throughout the year, the PTO helps by:
Organizing events and activities that bring families, teachers, and students together.
Supporting teachers and classrooms through volunteer efforts, supplies, and appreciation initiatives.
Fundraising to provide resources and opportunities that go beyond the regular school budget.
Building community by fostering communication and engagement between families and staff.
Every parent or guardian is welcome and encouraged to get involved whether it's by volunteering, sharing ideas, or attending meetings and events. Together, we make our Oak Brook community a vibrant, supportive, and fun place to learn and grow!
Don't forget to order your Hot Dog Meals for Spirit Night! All profits directly support the Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts at Oak Brook!
