PTO Needs Your Talent!
We are already looking ahead to next school year and have found that we have a few positions that we will be opening up this summer and in the fall. Now is the perfect time to start shadowing the people who hold these positions this year so you can have a head start and be well on your way to success in the fall. Keep in mind that none of these positions require you to be the lead for the remainder of this school year. This is just an opportunity to work closely with the current chair and learn the ropes.

Did you know ...?
- When you are volunteering for a PTO event or simply helping out your teacher, art supplies are available in each of the houses, volunteers should always check the house supplies before going to the Art room for supplies. If you visit the Art room, please coordinate with the teacher.
- Teachers are always available to parents/guardians, and they love your help! However, if you are coming in to assist the school in other areas, please respect their instructional time and do your best to not disrupt them. If you would like to visit the classroom, it is always best schedule the visit with your student's teacher so that everyone can prepare.
