2011 PTO Committees

 What is PTO?

The Parent Teacher Organization is a group of parents and teachers working together to continually promote and provide assistance to the quality educational programs at Pleasant Hill Elementary.

 Who is a member of PTO?

YOU!!!  By having a student at Pleasant Hill Elementary, you are a member of PTO.  There are no applications, no papers to fill out and no dues to pay. 

 How can you help PTO?

Attend a meeting, be part of a committee, volunteer to work at a PTO event, support the fundraisers, collect Boxtops and Campbell soup labels,..…

 When are the PTO meetings?

PTO meetings are held on the 2nd Tuesday of September, November, January, February, April & May.  The meeting is on the 1st Tuesday of October and March due to parent/teacher conferences.  There is no meeting in December. 

All meetings are held at 6:30 in the Art Room.

Free childcare is provided

 What does PTO provide during the school year?

PTO funds pay for many “extras” that our students would not have because they are not supplied by the school district.  Some of the items paid for are: buses for field trips, assemblies, classroom magazines, additional teacher supplies, daily planners/folders for all students, Fun Night, indoor recess games, yearbook, student directory, and the PTO website.  A complete listing of PTO’s budget, including a monthly spending report, is available at each of the PTO meetings. 

 Where can you find more information about our school, PTO and events?

Check out the PTO website at pleasanthillpto.org
