PTO Overview

Membership is open to anyone in our community who believes in supporting the mission of the PTO. Together we are a powerful voice for our school community. Our goal is to bring together the interests of the parents and the school to support student achievement. Through PTO initiatives and activities, parents work with the faculty to enhance the school environment and improve student achievement.

Purpose of the PTO:  

Provide the financial and volunteer resources to assist the school leadership, provide academic enrichment, and build our community and school spirit. The PTO promotes open communication between administration, teachers, and parents and works with the APS district to advocate on behalf of its members to build the strongest elementary school possible. 

What we do:

• Teacher appreciation
• Support and organize school-wide events
• Provide a forum to discuss issues of importance to parents and teachers
• Provide the volunteers and the organization needed to support school projects
• Conduct fundraising for school activities
• Assist with special school project development, landscaping, or community outreach
