PTO – Parent Teacher Organization
PTO is a group of volunteers among Parents and Teachers who plan and organize events and activities for the school. The role of the PTO is to enhance our student’s education. By volunteering, parents not only have a say in what type of activities (during or after school) our children are involved in but also become enablers by providing their time and/or monetary assistance. Without this type of organization, the school may not have the resources to do extracurricular activities.
PACE-PTO thrives on the participation of parents. Whether you are making treats for a bake sale or wearing your traditional clothes at Cultural Day – you are involved and part of the PACE-PTO family!
Educating children takes a team, and our educators depend on a partnership with the PTO (Parent Teacher Organization) to help collectively educate and train each student. This collaboration creates a dialogue that allows for a better understanding of students and their needs.
PTO ensures many traditions at PACE continue year after year including the favorites like Cultural Day, Hajj Carnival, Class Bake Sales, Teacher and Staff Appreciation week in celebration of our dedicated and highly talented faculty and staff.
If you are looking for a way to get involved at school, PTO can help! The PTO also creates a formidable community at PACE; providing the friendship and support all families need as their children grow and change.The PACE-PTO is funded by PACE member families.
Every PACE parent and teacher are automatically a member of the PTO, and all are welcome and encouraged to participate in the activities of their choice. Contact pace.pta2015@gmail.com
