How the PTO Works
The PTO is governed by a four-person Executive Board elected annually by the membership. General meetings are held monthly from September through May and are open to all PTO members. Annual membership is $20 per family — members vote on how funds are spent and are eligible to hold office.
Day-to-day work is carried out by volunteer committee chairs who each own a specific area — from fundraising to beautification to staff appreciation. Together, the board and committee chairs meet monthly to keep things running smoothly.
