Did You Know...
Did you know that getting involved in your child's school has a positive and
long lasting effect? According to the National Parent Teacher Association
(PTA), children whose parents participate in their school have a more
successful academic career and better attendance in school. In addition,
those students are more likely to become well-adjusted, well-rounded and
enjoy school more than students whose parents are not involved.
Feel free to speak with any PTO Member about how you can get involved or to
share any feedback, suggestions or helpful links. Our contact information can
be found on the "Special Documents" tab.
