Research shows that participating in your child’s school and showing engagement helps them perform better academically.

THE SCHOOL BENEFITS

No one will listen to my suggestions because I am new.

MYTH

The PTO moms know each other really well and are just a big clique.

The majority of the active PTO members do know each other as a result of working together on various projects, but our group is friendly and welcoming to ALL! Give us a chance to get to know you too!

MYTH

The PTO has all the help they need. My participation will not make a difference.
