About PTO
The PTO is organized for the purpose of supporting the education of students at Pyrtle Elementary School by fostering relationships between parents, teachers, and administrators.
The primary objective of Pyrtle PTO is to promote a positive relationship between home and school, so that parents, teachers, and administrators may cooperate in the education of students at Pyrtle Elementary School.
What does Pyrtle PTO do?
PTO strives to build a supportive school community where both students and teachers can do their best work. We are about parent involvement first; fundraising is secondary. Research shows that getting involved in a child’s education helps students thrive and grow both at school and home.
