We have seen a lot of growth in our student enrollment here at Hyde Park School, a testament to the high quality education and wonderful community. The PTO organization exists primarily to support these students with financial, community, and infrastructure needs that are not provided by the district. For us to continue our success, we NEED volunteers to fill positions for the 2019-20 school year.
In order for the PTO to exist and to evolve, it requires new parents every year who want to engage and effect change. Our reach needs to be broad so that we can incorporate the opinions and desires of the entire Hyde Park School community. There are absolutely no requirements to volunteer in a position and you will be mentored by the person currently serving in that role. Every parent on our current board was a first-time volunteer who juggles work, kids, life, and service to our school. So this is your opportunity. We welcome all candidates to come forward and join the team!!
Here is the list of positions we are actively looking to fill along with general duties. If you have an interest in one of the below positions please send an e-mail to president@hpspto.com by April 28th. All candidates will be announced April 30th.
