Being a Wade King PTO member is FREE and allows you to vote on PTO items like budget, activities we sponsor, and PTO leadership. If you're part of the Wade King Community, you're already a member.
PTO meetings are a fun, informal, and informative opportunity to connect to your child’s school, staff, other parents/guardians. Our meetings are a fun place, a chance to learn and be heard, and an opportunity to volunteer (though volunteering is completely optional). In our meetings, we discuss PTO budget distribution, PTO fundraisers, Wade King community and school events, new learning materials, and we brainstorm new ideas to foster community with our kids and families.
