What is the PTO?

The Hawthorne Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is an active link between students, teachers and parents. We are a voice and a resource for parents, an advocate for children and support for our school staff.

Meetings:

Our meetings are scheduled on the third Wednesday of each month at 5:45 - 6:45 PM in the school library. Child care is provided! Watch Hawk Talk for news of guest speakers. There will be no meeting in December.

Membership:

If you would like to become a member look for the PTO flyer the Parent Involvement Packet, attend a Hawthorne Parent Involvement Meeting or leave a message at the front desk and a PTO officer will contact you.

PTO Objectives:

Hawthorne PTO’s main objectives are to improve the educational environment for our children, to increase student success through the programs we support, and to involve parents actively in our school. (Research shows parent involvement makes a big difference in children’s school success.)

Some of the ways we seek to meet these objectives are by sponsoring the following activities:
