Parent Teacher Organization (PTO)

Bike Parade 2018 19

Dear Parents,

Welcome to the 2019-2020 school year! Having a strong relationship between school, family and community is important, especially here at The Island School. That is why we would like to have all families join the Parent Teacher Organization (PTO).

PTO membership is not mandatory but is highly encouraged. I know many of you would like to attend the meetings but can’t because of other obligations. While attendance at PTO meetings is advantageous it is not required. The level of participation in the PTO activities is your choice.

Research has shown that students’ academic achievements increase when parents are involved in the educational process. Belonging to the PTO is a great start!

Thank you for your continued interest in our school and your child(ren)’s education.

Sincerely,

Kate Prendergast, PTO President
