The Countryside Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is an active group of parents and teachers working together to help make Countryside the best it can be. Every Countryside parent or guardian is a member of the PTO. The PTO helps to enhance our children’s school experience through programs such as Creative Arts and Sciences, the Multicultural Festival, FunRun, Spring Fest and other community building events. We also support teachers by providing classroom resources and materials. The PTO builds community spirit and facilitates information sharing. We encourage you to join us and get involved. The addition of new parents to PTO committees ensures that we continue to generate new ideas and to foster the creative talent that keeps Countryside’s programs dynamic and strong.
PTO Meetings are usually held the second Wednesday of each month at 7 PM. They take place at the library and via Google Meet (link is sent to all Countryside families at previous Sunday's update).
PTO meetings are open to all Countryside parents/guardians and of course our teachers. We always welcome new involvement and volunteers.
If you have any questions and/or items you'd like added to an upcoming PTO meeting agenda, please email one of our co-clerks, Casey Allen or Denitsa Brown
