Parent Teacher Organization (PTO)
Throughout the school year, parents and guardians of enrolled students are invited to participate in monthly parent meetings held on each campus within the district. Attendees receive important information and updates about school-sponsored events, attendance data, testing dates, safety concerns, and more from school administrators, staff members, and parent leads.
In accordance with the district's strategic plan, each campus administrator selects a parent or guardian to serve in the role of Parent Lead throughout the school year. The Parent Lead represents the voice of the parents and guardians on that campus. Responsibilities of this role include assistance with the planning and facilitation of monthly parent meetings, helping raise awareness of school-sponsored events and initiatives, and attending monthly training sessions with the School District 189 Family And Community Engagement team. Parent Leads who complete a full school year of service are eligible to receive a modest stipend.
