An independent school organization comprised of parents, teachers and administrators. Its purpose is to enhance the educational environment of students.

PTO...Who are we and what do we do?

Every parent and teacher of a Monte Vista child is a member of the PTO, the parent teacher organization of Monte Vista. A board of parent volunteers, a teacher representative and over 25 committees, comprised of parent volunteers, leads the Monte Vista PTO.  Our volunteers organize our PTO sponsored social and academic events and work together to make Monte Vista the great school it is!

 

 The PTO financially supports and leads several events and programs throughout the school year, including the Family Reading Program, Fall Festival, Pumpkin Walk, Spring Carnival and Silent Auction, the 5^th Grade Celebration, Teacher and Staff holiday Luncheons and appreciation gifts.  These programs directly benefit the Monte Vista community with resources that include books and materials for the Teacher Literacy Room, Family Reading Program and Masterpiece Art program and support the salaries of the Computer Aid and Lunch Aid.  Additional funds are required for continuing education classes for teachers, playground equipment, office equipment for staff and teachers, school paper supplies.  All of these programs demand successful fund raising each school year.

 

There are 4 general evening PTO meetings during the school year, offering you a chance to be informed and involved. You may also choose to join one of our Planning committees.   Each general meeting hosts a different and dynamic speaker with topics ranging from Introducing Special Programs at Monte Vista to News from the Kyrene District. Topics for PTO meetings are selected from member responses to the annual PTO survey taken at the end of the prior school year.  Each PTO member has a voice and we hope you will choose to participate in your organization.
