What is the PTO all
about?
The purpose of the PTO is to create and sustain a sense of community
among the families at the School, to help and support teachers and
staff, to organize and coordinate parent volunteer efforts, to identify
needs particular to the School, and provide financial support in meeting
those needs through various fundraisers. In addition, the PTO helps to
support communication within the School by publishing a PTO newsletter
and sending periodic email updates to parents.
What is new with the
PTO this year?
The PTO recognizes that work and family commitments can make active
involvement in the School difficult. The PTO strives to match your
individual interests and availability with the needs of the School. The
PTO is grateful for any time you are able to volunteer. We welcome any
level of commitment you are able to provide -- from an hour a week to an
hour once a year!

When does the PTO
meet?
PTO meetings are held once a month and are typically an hour long. PTO
meetings provide an open forum for discussions between parents and
faculty regarding the needs of the School and suggested improvements.
These meetings are a great opportunity to share your ideas with a group
dedicated to the betterment of the School. Even if you are unable to
attend PTO meetings, you can still be involved in the PTO. For the
2007-2008 school year, meetings will be held the second Wednesday of
every month at the Lotus campus. Meeting notices will be posted a few
days prior to each meeting.
How do I get involved?
PTO sign-up sheets
are available in the office of each campus or through the link on the
school website. Submit your completed form with the annual dues to the
school office.
