KES PTO

Welcome to our news and information site.

Here you will find the latest opportunities to make a difference in your school.

Whether you knew it as PTA or PTO when you were in school this is the group that has an impact on the success of our school in many ways.

WHAT IS PTO?

PTO stands for Parent Teacher Organization

We join forces with staff to make our school work.

Our primary focus is raising money to fill in the gaps of a tight budget AND volunteering throughout the building to help teachers and students.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

Volunteering is the greatest "no cost" way that you can help.

You can come to the office and sign in to help in classrooms and the library.

You could read with students who are struggling, help organize books in the library and assist teachers in the classroom in countless ways.

Let's face it, parents, our schools are different than they were when we were young. Budgets have been slashed so supplies are limited, support staff (like teacher assistant) positions have been eliminated and the number of students in each classroom is higher.

HOW DO YOU GET STARTED?

Contact Laura C. Jones, PTO Pres. at 296-0325 or see your classroom teacher to see where he or she might need your help.

Fund-raising update:   This year our fall COOKIE DOUGH fund-raiser brought over $7000 to our school! We have used some of this money to buy amazing technology for use in the classrooms. Our goal is to offer a data projector system to each of our classrooms. This will be a fantastic addition to your child's learning. Other uses of our money include helping new teachers establish their classroom materials, providing study workbooks for students to use in preparing for EOG tests, and giving each student a planner to organize their school year.

We may have another Fund-raising event before the end of this school year to get a jump on the needs for the next school year. Stay tuned for more details.
