PTO
MEMBERSHIP PAYMENT NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE Did you know, that as a parent or guardian with a student attending PRM, you are already a PTO member (and so are all our teachers and staff!)?!?! Our goal is to have 100% of our membership as voting members. To be a voting member, it is only $5/family and proceeds help fund the many PTO-sponsored school activities. (Note: a $0.45 service fee is applied.)
Please include your family’s name, last then first (Ex: “Smith, John” or “Smith, Jane” or “Smith, Jane and John”), along with your student’s name. Then just click “Add to Cart” and follow the payment instructions. Thank you for your support.
GET INVOLVED WITH PTO! Haven’t tossed your name in the hat? If a PTO Executive Officer position is not your thing, no worries, we have many committees in need of a chairperson and committee members. Consider volunteering in one these areas: Fundraising, Communications, and Social/Community. Tell us what area interests you, and we’ll find a spot for you!
To get an idea of the different types of fund-raising, social/community, and communication sub-committees we offer, please see the descriptions below. If you’re interested in joining a committee or volunteering for an event, contact the chairperson in our current committee listing!
As a volunteer body, we are always open to new ideas if you don’t see a committee that is of interest and fills a need. Please email the PTO president if you have questions or would like to volunteer for an Executive Officer or committee position!
