Dear Kindergarten Parents and Guardians,
We would like to take this opportunity to welcome each of you and your families to the Plympton Elementary School. For those who may not know, the PTO is an organization that consists of parents and teachers working together. Our goal is to foster a nurturing and caring environment for all students and to help build a better educational environment for our children. Through fundraising efforts, the PTO donates resources to support our teachers, fund field trips, and other school activities.
For the PTO to be effective and truly representative of the school, it is essential to have involvement from as many parents and guardians as possible. Many parents may feel that they cannot help with the PTO because they cannot come to every meeting but there are endless possibilities and ways you can help. Whatever your availability may be, the Plympton Elementary PTO appreciates our parent volunteers, as do our teachers and staff. Please consider volunteering, it really does make a difference in the lives of our children! As a parent or guardian of a student at Plympton Elementary School, this is your PTO! Help us make this the best school community for all our families.
Kindergarten Meet and Greet
Typically, before school begins, the PTO holds a playground play date for all incoming kindergarteners. A representative from the PTO will be available at each session to answer any questions. Whether it is your first student or fourth student entering Plympton School, this is an exciting time for your family! We can’t wait to meet all our new and returning Plympton families!
Programs/Activities throughout the year
Free and Easy Fundraising for the PTO
