ABOUT THE ROOSEVELT PTO

It is the purpose of the PTO to promote education of the highest quality by working with parents, teachers, students, administrators and the community in the following ways:

  • Facilitate and encourage cooperation between teachers and parents
  • Facilitate and encourage parental involvement in school-related activities that require the services of assistants or volunteers
  • Support projects that contribute to the general welfare of the students and school.
If you would like to get involved or see your PTO in action, attend a meeting. PTO meetings are usually held the first Friday of the month at 8:30 AM. Click here to see a list of our meeting dates and times. Everyone is welcome to attend PTO meetings.
