Families

PTO

The role of the PTO (Parent, Teacher Organization) is to build strong working relationships among parents, teachers and schools, in support of students. This can include recruiting and coordinating volunteers, providing special recognition in awards ceremonies or through other activities, organizing parent education events, planning teacher appreciation activities and much more.  We are actively looking for parents to join the PTO.

SGC

The School Governance Council provides an opportunity for stakeholders in the school to craft a productive collaboration to support student success. The intent of the Council is to enable parents, school staff, students (where appropriate) and community leaders to work together to improve student achievement in the local school setting/site.
