Will Rogers Elementary School
Parent Teacher Organization

The Will Rogers PTO is an organized group of parents who work together with teachers and administrators who work together with teachers and administrators to support educational activities at school.  The collaborative partnership between family and school provides a valuable resource of volunteers who augment the work of educators by assuming responsibilities that range from clerical work to tasks involving direct assistance with student learning.  Underlying this program is the basic assumption that student performance, attitudes, and behaviors are influenced positively by parental involvement. 
All families are encouraged to join PTO.  Membership is $3 per family.  A school directory is $2.  Memberships and directories may be purchased on Information Day, August 18.  The PTO meets the third Thursday of each month at 9:30 a.m. to discuss and vote on fundraising projects, special programs, and school activities.  Meetings are open to all PTO members.
