Parent Teacher Organization (PTO)

Our school community thrives when we work as a team! The Eastern Elementary School PTO invites all parents and family members to get involved in school activities and events. The PTO works throughout the year to bring quality enrichment activities to our students as well as raise funds for student programming.  PTO meetings are held on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 6:00pm. Please join us or reach out to easternelementaryschoolpto@gmail.com to learn more!

Check us out on Facebook!



PTO is always looking for volunteers to help with a variety of different things! We encourage parents, caregivers, grandparents and families to sign up as volunteers.  You can specify if you are available to help during the school day, after school hours, at events, for event planning, or if you are just interested in hearing when volunteer opportunities are available.  Don't be hesitant to send your name along, there is no pressure to help- we'll just send out emails when volunteers are needed and if you're able to help you let us know!

We also encourage everyone to either attend or tune in to our PTO meetings on the second Tuesday of each month, at 6:30 PM.  

Reach out to easternelementaryschoolpto@gmail.com to connect with us and we would love to find a way to get you involved!
