Every Countryside parent and teacher is a member of the PTO. The PTO supports and funds school programs and materials above and beyond the City of Newton education budget and sponsors a series of community events throughout the school year.

To join in, look at the PTO Committees to see if there is an event or a group you can lend your skills and talents to and contact the chairperson. If you cannot spare any time, donations to the Annual Fund are accepted year round and are always appreciated.
