Why should I join the PTO?

Children
Benefit

Research shows that participating in your child’s school and showing engagement helps them perform better academically.

The School Benefits

PTO provides support for school staff, which in turn creates a positive and caring atmosphere in the school.

Make Connections

Get to know the teachers and staff better and make life-long friends with other parents at the school.

It’s Good
For You

Socializing with other parents and volunteering to do good for your child’s school is fun, healthy and rewarding!

Ready to Join?

The PTO believes that parent involvement is an essential ingredient to a student’s success. We strongly encourage all parents and faculty to join the PTO. Joining the PTO is a great way for you to show support for your child and to ensure he/she receives the best education possible. Your input is important to us. Being an active participant and being involved, is not synonymous with being “sucked in”. The level of involvement is up to you! The simple act of joining Cardinal Keepers PTO provides instant support for our teachers and staff.

Whether it be big or small, at home or in person, your involvement is appreciated. Whatever your availability, we will find your niche.
