ABOUT THE FISKE PTO

The PTO and Site-Based Council at Fiske are organizations that work toward the common goal of making our school a vibrant, challenging place for children to learn. While the PTO and the Council work in partnership to support the programs at Fiske, we also serve as vital liaisons to the parent body.

The role of the PTO is to promote the closer relationship between home and school and foster a sense of community by working together to provide an excellent public school education for every child. At Fiske, the PTO’s work is demonstrated through enrichment activities and targeted support for unfunded or underfunded school programs. This is accomplished by a system of committees, chaired and staffed by volunteers and funded by parent-supported fundraising. We encourage all parents to get involved in the PTO. We have a wide variety of volunteer opportunities available, and new ideas are always welcome.

The PTO Executive Board members and Committee chairs are nominated and then elected by PTO members each spring. We hold open meetings every month during the school year. Dates and times will be announced in the School News.

Parents should contact the PTO with questions about any PTO programs currently in place, as well as any ideas for new programs that would enrich our school community or provide financial support for school programs.
