1. Sign up for Membership Toolkit.
Membership Toolkit is the primary way the PTO sends email communications to the community. It is also the home of the Countryside Online Directory managed by the PTO. Being in the directory ensures you are included in classroom specific emails from your Room Parents and is also a great resource for connecting with other families—for things like birthday invitations, class playdates, or quick contact info.
Please sign into Membership Toolkit (even if you do not want to be in the directory) to ensure you are getting all PTO communications. Be sure to include your child’s name, classroom, your name and your email address.

As a small welcoe gift, we would love to give your student a Countryside t-shirt so they have some school spirit to wear. To get the t-shirt, respond to the welcome email with your child's t-shirt size. You can also send an email to Beth Harmon with your child's t-shirt size.
Once we have the info, we will make sure to get it to them.
