The Turkey Hill School PTO vision is to make every child’s potential a reality.
THS PTO's mission is to be a powerful voice for all children, a relevant resource for families and communities, and a strong advocate for the education and well-being of every child. We seek to foster parent, teacher and student relationships and provide activities for students of the Turkey Hill School.
The purpose of the Turkey Hill School PTO will be to adopt and adhere to the six keys to Successful School-Family-Community Partnerships, as created by J.L. Epstein:
a) Parenting: Assist families with parenting and child-rearing skills, understanding child and adolescent development and setting home conditions that support children as students at each age and grade level. Assist schools in understanding families.
b) Communicating: Communicate with families about school programs and student progress through effective school-to-home and home-to-school communications.
c) Volunteering: Improve recruitment, training, work and schedules to involve families as volunteers and audiences at the school or in other locations to support students and school programs.
d) Learning at Home: Involve families with their children in learning activities at home, including homework and other curriculum-related activities and decisions.
e) Decision Making: Include families as participants in school decisions, governance, and advocacy through the PTO, school councils, committees and other parent organizations.
f) Collaborating with the Community: Coordinate resources and services for families, students and the school with businesses, agencies and other groups and provide services to the community.
The THS PTO Board is elected each May for the subsequent year by the General PTO membership. If you are interested in appearing on the ballot, reach out to us at turkeyhillpto@gmail.com no later than April to appear on the May ballot. You must be a paid member of the PTO to serve on the Board.
