The Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is a combined effort between the school and the parents to provide additional services to our children. Through fundraising efforts, the PTO is able to support field trips, holiday parties, cultural events, staff appreciation, in-class activities, etc. PTO often purchases items for the school that do not fall within the school district budget.

Parental involvement in the education of children has been shown to improve the educational experience by providing additional activities and participation that the school district cannot provide. These volunteer hours enhance the student's educational experience.

 

There are no requirements for being a PTO member besides having a child enrolled in the Montessori program. In addition to during school volunteer opportunities, however, there are after-school needs for volunteers as well (this often benefits the working parents).
