Joining the PTO is a great way to be involved in your child's education!
The COOLEY Difference:
We are NOT your stereotypical PTO.
We are about creating a community, not a clique.
We aim for involvement and collaboration, not power and control.
At our meetings:
You’ll get to hear a report from our principal on what’s going on at the school
You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and to share comments and concerns you may have
You'll get to vote on the PTO's budget and elect its board members
You’ll meet other Cooley families and make friends
Want more reasons to join? Decades of research, including findings published by the Michigan Department of Education, show that when parents are involved, students have:
Higher grades, test scores, and graduation rates
Better school attendance
Increased motivation and better self-esteem
Lower rates of suspension
Decreased use of drugs and alcohol
Fewer instances of violent behavior
TO JOIN THE COOLEY PTO, PLEASE FILL OUT THE MEMBERSHIP FORM ABOVE.
**IMPORTANT NOTE** Joining does not commit you to coming to every meeting and activity. There is no obligation implied by joining. We always welcome everyone at every meeting and event, but we understand that we all have busy families and busy kids. We appreciate as little or as much as you can do. Grandparents are welcome to join as well!
