Looking for a great way to get connected to your child’s school? Get involved with your school’s PTO or the Middle School Parent Group (MSPG)! 💚
Our elementary PTOs and MSPG are made up of wonderful parents and families who give their time, talents, and support to make our schools even better. From supporting teachers and students to helping with special events, activities, and school traditions, these groups play an important role in our schools.
You don’t have to attend every meeting or volunteer for everything. Every bit of involvement makes a difference!
👉 Connect with them at Back to School Night and find a way to get involved that works for you.
