Conant Families!

A Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is a group of parents, teachers and staff who work together to support their school. PTOs can cover a wide range of areas, including:

• Fundraising - PTOs can plan fundraising events to help the school achieve its curricular and fundraising goals
• Enrichment - PTOs can provide enrichment opportunities for students, such as school and family enrichment programs
• Community Engagements - PTOs can organize events like book fairs or family nights to promote community and a sense of togetherness
• Supplies - PTOs can support teachers, staff, and students by providing classroom, playground and building supplies
• Volunteering - PTO members can volunteer their time to help with student activities and events, such as school and district sponsored events
• Communication - PTOs can help bridge communication between parents, teachers, and administrators

Parents can support their Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) in many ways, including:

• Volunteering - Parents can volunteer their time and resources to help with a variety of tasks, such as:
  • Organizing fundraisers
  • Attending PTO board meetings
  • Managing school programs and communications
  • Planning events for the community
• Donating - Parents can donate goods and materials to support the PTO, such as school supplies, decorations, and food/drink to help stock the teacher lounge
• Pay your dues - It is a small annual fee per family to kick off the new school year; paying your dues upfront gives the PTO a small budget to get started on the first few events of the year
• Joining the board - Parents can join the PTO board by expressing interest to the current President(s); the best way to start is by introducing yourself to the any and all of the board members, attend the bi-monthly meetings and volunteer to be the lead on event committees 
• All of these things really help support the organization

Conant Elementary PTO meetings are hosted at the school on Wednesday mornings after drop-off once every other month. The meetings start promptly at 9:30am. The meeting dates for the 2024/2025 school year are as follows:
