Parent/guardian involvement/PTO

Back to district wide handbook

Elementary K-5

There are a number of ways for parents/caregivers to become involved with their child’s school. Being a parent/caregiver volunteer is probably the most active way to become involved. A form will be provided for parents/caregivers to volunteer their services.

All parents/caregivers are members of our Parent/Teacher Organization (PTO). Meetings will be held 7-8 times per year to discuss areas of interest. An agenda will be published and all parents/caregivers are welcome to attend.  Parents/Caregivers may contact their representative or the school to provide input on topics of interest. The goal of the PTO is to support schools through parent/guardian involvement. Parents/Caregivers also have opportunities to attend open houses, parent/caregiver/teacher conferences, and other school functions throughout the year.

PTO Purposes:

  • Advisory capacity to school administrative staff.
  • Forum for discussion of school policies/procedures.
  • Vehicle for communication of school program/curriculum to parents/caregivers.
  • Promotion of all parent/caregivers or student programs/activities.
  • Identifying and communicating needs to the community.
  • Not a forum for discussion of personnel issues.
