Why Join PTO?

 

Parent volunteers send the message to their children that they care about their school. The whole story is that EVERYONE benefits:  students, parents, teachers, and administrators.

Schools with involved parents enjoy:

 

  • better morale among teachers;

  • higher ratings of teachers by parents;

  • more support from families; and

  • a better reputation in the community.

 

 

Research demonstrates that parents who become involved in their children’s education are more likely to:
 

  • be more confident at school;

  • be more confident in themselves as parents and their ability to help their children learn;

  • be held in higher esteem by teachers and have teachers expect more from their children; and

  • enroll in continuing education to advance their own schooling.
