ABOUT THE PTO

MEETINGS

All parents and faculty are invited to attend PTO meetings. Meetings provide a way to contribute ideas, articulate concerns, have a voice in decisions and meet other members of the Torey J community. You do not have to be an active volunteer to attend meetings (nor do you have to attend meetings to be an active volunteer).

Meetings are typically held on Monday every other month. To accommodate the diverse scheduling needs of parents, some meetings are held in the evening and others are held in the morning. Meetings are held at the school.

ALL PTO COMMUNICATIONS ARE NOW ONLINE!

Through the fundraising efforts, the TJS PTO sponsors activities that benefit all grade levels. Some of the activities that we help to support include cultural arts assemblies, educational enrichment programs by grade, art appreciation programs, drama club and knitting club. The PTO also purchases education equipment for classrooms, the library, gym, music, art and technology.
