Eaton Park PTO
As the name suggests, the PTO is a group of parents and teachers dedicated to enhancing the school and the educational experiences of our children. The PTO is made up of four elected officers who are voted into office at the end of April. The PTO meets every third Wednesday of the month. Everyone is invited to attend the meetings. The primary purpose of these meetings is to provide information about upcoming events and to make decisions that should be voted on by the organization as a whole. In addition, the meetings provide an opportunity to get to know the teachers and other parents at Eaton Park. You can also find out ways that you can get involved with activities that take place at your child’s school. PTO also keeps parents informed through a monthly newsletter and web site.
