Families

Parent Teacher Organization (PTO)

Parkside School for the Arts PTO is a parent and teacher group which meets every other month to plan family oriented activities and school-wide fundraisers. These meeting are open to all parents and teachers. PTO meetings are held at 6:30pm in the Art Room.

The PTO supports several ongoing fundraisers throughout the school year. All money earned by the PTO goes back to the school to help support and improve the school.

School Engagement Council (SEC)

The SEC is a group of parents, teachers and community members. They are responsible for making decisions, which are advisory to the principal, in matters affecting the operation of the school, its curriculum, and its program. Any parent may attend these meetings, which are held once a month, and give input to the Council on specific agenda items.
