We are looking for parents/guardians that want to join us in building a supportive and fun community for our staff and students. Unfortunately, due to the redistricting process we are loosing multiple board members and committee leads. We’d love for you to consider joining our PTO Executive Board! Whether you have a little time or a lot, there’s a place for you. Our roles are flexible, shared, and designed to fit into busy family schedules—we know life comes first. You won’t be expected to do it all on your own, and no position is meant to take over your life. Every bit of help makes a meaningful difference for our students and staff!
