Polaris Parent Teacher Organization
The purpose of the Polaris Parent Teacher organization is to help Polaris students thrive and excel through family involvement, staff support, strong community and fundraising.
At other schools, the PTO is usually a fee based organization with members. At Polaris, the PTO consists of every member of the Polaris community. The officers and committees serve to help organize the combined efforts of all of us.
If you're wondering what the PTO does in more concrete terms, here are some of the things that the PTO helps bring about:
class lemonades, the ice-cream social, registration packets, the SOS campaign, the Jog-A-thon, the school directory, the newsletter, the website, the e-mail updates list, the climbing wall, the computer lab, school safety, school environment, classroom parents, electives, Community Dinners, For the Love of the Arts, the end of year gala (Ms. Patterson heads this up), the sock hop, the science fair, field day (Coach D does most of this), chess club, spanish club, and Polaris Night at Bookies.
