It is run by parents just like you who have volunteered to help provide even more opportunities and support for the school, its families and students.

We do not have any responsibilities or authorities regarding the business or operations of the school itself.

    Membership Link

    Please consider joining the PTSO with a free annual membership. Becoming a member does not hold any obligation. We need help and desperately want to expand the membership to include all of our community.  We have decided to open membership up with no obligation for a membership fee, giving members the option to donate any amount that is comfortable (or nothing at all).  Here is a link to the online membership form securely hosted on Cheddar Up.  We hope to see you at upcoming meetings!
