Important Information
PTO 2026/27

💙 PTO Leadership Needs You for the 2026–2027 School Year! Middle school is only three short years, and many of you have already spent several years supporting your elementary school PTOs. After all that time volunteering, it can feel like middle school is the moment to take a step back and catch your breath.

However, this stage of our kids’ lives is incredibly important, and our school community needs engaged families more than ever. Joining the PTO is a great way to stay connected, support our students and staff, and help shape the middle school experience for all of our kids.

Please consider getting involved for the upcoming school year. The link below lists all open PTO positions along with a short description of each role. Take a look and see if there’s a place where you can lend your time and talents!
