What does your annual dues cover?
The annual dues cover administration costs associated with running our PTO each year. The PTO is a separate entity from the school and relies solely on membership dues and fundraising efforts to operate. Some of our typical costs include website hosting fees, printing supplies for events and fundraisers, accountant costs to file our required tax paperwork to keep in good standing with the IRS. This year we are hoping to offer childcare during meetings, the dues will help cover that expense. Our projected operation costs for this coming school year are estimated to be $1,700.00.
Do I have to join to volunteer or support the PTO?
Joining the PTO is not a requirement to volunteer at a PTO event, attend meetings, or support a PTO event. Paying dues and becoming a member is one way to support us, so we can better serve the school community.
