Smith Elementary School Parent Teacher Organization May 2019 FROM THE PTO PRESIDENT Hello Smith Families!
I am so excited to support our staff and teachers as the Parent Teacher Organization President for the 2018-2019 school year. I've been a proud resident of Oakwood for 10 years, and next year we will have a child in the 2nd grade and our youngest in her 1st year at Smith in the Oakwood Preschool. I love living in our community where education is a top priority and our schools reciprocate through the support and care they show our children.
My immediate objective is to have our PTO volunteer committees filled by enthusiastic parents. ED Smith School provides oodles of clubs and events that need parent involvement and supervision to thrive. If you're interested in supporting our schools, teachers, staff and kiddos through coordinating supply kits or spirit wear, leading an event like Walk to School Day or Ghost Wood Fall Fest, coordinating a club OR if you'd like to help direct the PTO through participation in the executive committee, I'm sure we have a place for you!
Please contact me via e-mail at Balletdork@gmail.com so we can get you signed up for your perfect committee!
Sincerely, Heather Jackson Incoming PTO President
Online Directory Change!
Last summer, the PTO successfully launched our new online directory with MySchoolAnywhere. However, earlier this year we were informed that MSA merged with Membership Toolkit and over the summer all schools will be transitioning to the new software.
What does this mean for Smith Families? Next year's online directory will have a new look and a new app. Luckily, the database will be transferred to the new software automatically, but we will still be asking you to confirm your family's information. Be on the look out for more information about Membership Toolkit and your confirmation e-mail this summer. We appreciate your patience and understanding through this transition process.
If you are not already in the directory and want to make sure you are added to the system before the transfer or if you have any other questions about the PTO directory, please contact Ashley Orr.
