Frequently Asked Questions
What is the PTO?
PTO stands for Parent-Teacher Organization. At Beverly Middle School (BMS), the PTO is made up of 100% volunteers. Every parent/guardian of a BMS student is a member and can participate. There are no dues required. You can review the bylaws below!
Why should I get involved?
The PTO’s success is based on the strength of its volunteers. Parents are welcome in the school, and their support and assistance is sought in a variety of ways. When parents volunteer, both families and the school reap benefits that come in few other ways. Getting involved at any level is also a great way for parents to get to know other parents and staff.
How much time do I need to commit?
As much or as little as you are able. For instance, we need some volunteers for a two hour event - once, two hours, that's it!
The BMS PTO consists of parents who work full-time inside and outside of the home. Some folks commit significant amounts of time to fundraising or other committee work while others get involved for a few hours on a PTO sponsored event.
Any amount of time you can give is welcome and appreciated!
About Beverly Middle School Fundraising
About Beverly Middle School Fundraising
There are two main all-school fundraisers that provide the funds for BMS' PTO budget, which is used for all students at the middle school. All proceeds supplement the general budget which funds all team allotments and field trips, wish list items, class, school, grade and school presentations, all grade year end awards, the 8th grade celebration, 6th grade Nature’s Classroom transportation, 5th grade Step Up, 8th grade extra trip transportation, high school scholarships and more.
NOTE: Some grades and teams do additional fundraising to supplement other trips and experiences for that group. If your child is doing additional fundraising, they are having additional experiences.
