About Us

The Center School Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) consists of volunteers who together work diligently to develop fun events and continue cherished traditions like the Fall Carnival, Field Day, Halloween Hustle, and the 5th grade Memory Books. 

Our various fundraising efforts pay for school beautification, enrichment programs, library and technology equipment, the student directory... the list goes on. Every child in every grade benefits.

Our focus is to continually strengthen our awesome Center School community.  We welcome your input and encourage your volunteerism!

Join the PTO

​Our PTO is the hub for parent volunteers, through which parents can create or learn about different committees that focus on strengthening our Center community.  There is a role for every parent and teacher in the PTO, whether you choose to share your time, skills, or finances. 

Please see our PTO meeting schedule below and make sure you are subscribed to our weekly newsletter. The newsletter is sent out weekly (Monday mornings), and will keep you up to date on the needs of our school community.  We will provide sign-ups throughout the year for volunteer opportunities.  

​If you are able to take on a bigger role, please see our open coordinator positions below and be in touch for more information centerschoolptoweb@gmail.com
