Parent Information - CPTO

 

What is the CPTO?  Community Parent & Teacher Organization

When do they meet?  After school in the KMS library approximately every other month.

Who can I contact to get involved?  Deb McGrath 922-1002

 

What is the focus of the CPTO?

• To help with communication between the school and parents
• To support a respectful school environment
• To promote the talents and success of KMS students

 

Why is it an organiation and not an association?

• The original parent group that formed the CPTO in 2001 decided that focus of the Middle School's parent organization would not be about fund-raising, but about becoming more involved in the school.

 

What does CPTO really do?  Here's a few highlights:

• Started a respect program for the students called "Gold Pride." Ask your student if he/she has received a gold ticket.
• Formed a communication committee to help with the monthly newsletter and the web site.
• Chaperones dances
• Provides office help on a weekly basis
• Keeps the reader board up-to-date
• Provides class assistance for the student council advisor
• Runs the school talent show
• Supervise the halls and outside during the faculty meeting 7:30 - 7:55 on Thursdays.
• Organize and promote the 8th grade Getaway.
