Parent Teacher Organization (PTO)

WE NEED YOU!!!

To get involved, come to our school and speak with our staff in the main office, or download the form from our Volunteer Page- thank you for volunteering!

The Whitman PTO holds a standing reputation of providing quality community services to the Whitman family. Normally comprised of the parents of Whitman School students, educators and members of the community.

Contact our Parent Coordinator, Ms. Amanda Sobie, at (414) 604-7700 with any questions you may have.

This organization’s main goals are to support the efforts of the school’s mission and vision and to assist with raising funds and the awareness of student initiatives and needs at the school level. The Whitman PTO is an official organization with bylaws, structured and regular elections, board meetings, a calendar of events, and a system of rules and regulations that keep the organization operating with the right focus, attitude, integrity, transparency, and heart.

To volunteer your time to the PTO, please stop by our Volunteer Page. When you are ready, download the form, fill it out and submit it to the office on your next visit to Whitman School. Thank you for your interest in Whitman’s PTO.
