About Emerald PTO
The Emerald Elementary PTO brings families, teachers, and staff together to create a supportive and connected school community. Through volunteer leadership and family involvement, we plan events and programs that strengthen relationships, build community, and provide resources to enhance every student’s education.
Our Mission
The PTO is organized for the purpose of supporting the education of children at Emerald Elementary School by fostering relationships among the school, the parents, and the teachers. This support is fulfilled by planning, organizing, and executing events and programs which generate resources and community for our school.
Our Board Members
The PTO Board is made up of dedicated Emerald Elementary parents and volunteers who serve one-year terms. Together, we carry out the PTO mission by fostering strong relationships among families, teachers, and staff, and by planning programs and events that build community and generate resources to support every student’s education.
