SAS Parent/Teacher Organization (PTO)

The Scotchtown Avenue Elementary School PTO is an active organization set up to carry out both educational and fun activities for students during the school year. Parents and guardians are encouraged to join the PTO and become involved with some of the many committees we have, including class pictures, book fairs, Family Fun Nights, tricky trays and more.

Why join the PTO? Because with you, we make a difference! Over the years, we have funded the following:

  • Fall and spring class trips for the entire school
  • Family Fun Nights
  • Kindergarten Ice Cream Social
  • School assembles
  • Teacher mini grants for classroom resources
  • So much more!

At each PTO meeting, volunteers may sign up for different upcoming events. You can still join the PTO even if you can’t attend monthly meetings. We encourage school-wide parent and teacher involvement. There are many ways SAS families can get involved!

To become a member of the SAS PTO, please fill out the SAS PTO registration form.

Volunteer opportunities

There are several ways you can get involved with the PTO, including helping with the book fair, holiday boutique, yearbook, fundraisers, edible educational garden and more. View the list of volunteer opportunities.

Join the Scotchtown Avenue Elementary School PTO to help raise money through the Box Tops for Education Program! Box Tops are collected the first Friday of every month. Box Tops for Education is one of the nation’s largest school fundraising loyalty programs that has helped schools succeed since 1996. With more than 240 participating products, it’s an easy way for schools to earn cash for the things they need. Learn more about Scotchtown Avenue’s Box Tops Program.
