Our first full week of school is underway! Students are settling into strong routines and getting back into the rhythm of school. 

Welcome to the PTO! 

Did you know that as a parent or guardian here, you are already an official member of our PTO? Every family brings something special to our community, and you can contribute in ways big or small—whether that means sharing ideas, volunteering, or attending meetings.

A huge thank-you to our PTO for everything they do to make school amazing for our kids. Their hard work brings both the fun and the practical to keep our students happy, safe, and engaged:

  • Student Treat Trolleys to bring big smiles and well-deserved rewards.

  • Schoolwide assemblies and events that inspire, entertain, and bring us all together.

  • Extra Tissues & Clorox Wipes during cold and flu season to keep our classrooms healthy.

Got questions or want to get involved? Send a quick note to jcmespto@gmail.com. We can't wait to work together to support our kids this year!
