what is a pto meeting

A PTO meeting is a meeting of a Parent-Teacher Organization that gives parents, teachers, and other staff members the opportunity to work together to supplement and enrich the educational experience. PTOs are usually made up of volunteers who work together to identify gaps in school resources, raise funds to make improvements, plan school events, and put together yearbooks. The meetings are usually held once a month and are open only to parents, teachers, and other staff members. The main goal of a PTO meeting is to encourage collaboration and communication among parents, teachers, and school administrators, and to work together towards a common goal of supporting the school and its students. During a PTO meeting, attendees can expect to receive updates about the school or upcoming events, collaborate with other parents and teachers to plan events or activities to benefit the school or students, and vote on PTO business if they are members. PTO meetings can be held in person or virtually to make it easier for parents to attend.
