PTO Membership 2025-2026

The simple act of joining the PTO provides instant financial support for our students! It's also a great way to stay informed about what's happening at school and connect in meaningful ways with other parents.

Don't have the time to volunteer? No problem! Becoming a PTO member does not mean you have to commit any of your time. The PTO LOVES volunteers, we need them for many events, but it isn't necessary to volunteer to become a member. Your membership fees alone help support the students, staff, and school!

Teacher/Faculty - $10 - PTO membership which includes the PTO newsletter and updates, access to the member directory, access to the calendar.
Parent/Guardian Family Membership - $40 - PTO membership which includes the PTO newsletter and updates, access to the member directory, access to the calendar.
