Dear Parents,
Welcome! Community School is an excellent school with talented caring staff, enthusiastic students, and involved parents. The Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) is a volunteer group dedicated to supporting the school and enhancing the quality of the educational experience at Community for all students. Key goals include:
-Coordinating volunteer participation to support school programs
-Hosting extra-curricular activities that encourage family involvement
-Sponsoring activities that increase school spirit
-Raising funds for supplemental services, equipment, and supplies
-Supporting the school administrating in its goals
Your involvement is important and will contribute greatly to your child's success. We are excited that your child will be part of this school, and we look forward to getting to know your family.
We invite you to become involved and to make this school an even better place for all the children. Whether you choose to lead a committee, be a room parent, or simply making copies, your help is important and appreciated.
The PTO's number one priority is coordinating volunteers and school events. However, fundraising is also necessary. The PTO has four fundraisers during the shcool year and small ongoing fundraisers throughout the year. For example, Jeffrey's Pizza Nights, Roller Skating Night & Box Tops for education. In addition, you can buy cookbooks for yourself and your family at any time during the school year. We also hope to have Community Spirit T-shirts available.
We welcome you to come to Open House on September 11th, to get to know your Community School Teachers, Staff, and PTO members.
Please feel free to contact any PTO Officer with suggustions, questions, or with offers of assistance. We look forward to working with you this school year.
Once again, welcome! We look forward to serving the needs of your family.
Thank you,
The Community School PTO Executive Board
