Returning Families

NEW FAMILIES

We have had great success the past few years with our primarily digital communication using our PTO website. We look forward to continuing our primarily digital, nearly paperless communication for our 2023-2024 year! Please update or create your new family account/profile ASAP so you can receive information for upcoming PTO sponsored school events, enrichment program opportunities, volunteer opportunities and more.

PTO This Year

One of the best ways to become involved at the school is through the PTO. Please join us in making this a banner year for the kids.

GeT Involved

Parents can easily sign-up to help through the user-friendly communication site Melissa Jones PTO Website. Whether you bake a batch of cookies, create a flyer, work a booth, participate in a committee, or just attend meetings, please get involved. It’s rewarding for you and your child, and all of the MJS children will thank you!

We are actively seeking both new and returning parents to help work on various committees and events. Throughout the year we will need continued support and volunteers for the many sponsored events. Please stay tuned for sign up opportunities, and email us anytime to express your ability or interest! Melissajonespto@gmail.com

MEETINGS

While meetings are only a very small sliver of the PTO effort, they are a nice way to stay up to date, meet some of the players, and they are a comfortable way to slowly get involved if you are feeling apprehensive. PTO meetings are held on the first Wednesday of the month at 7:00pm in the MJS Library. Come learn about the amazing events that PTO supports for our children!

We welcome new ideas and input and would love to inform you about the importance of PTO. Please join us the first Wednesday of each month. Bring your questions, ideas, and bring another parent!

stay up to date

Can't make the meetings... you can still be a very active PTO parent and participant! Come when you can, stay in touch by email and with our website when you can't! No worries!

This year will be an exciting and busy year for our MJS community and PTO! We are hoping you will feel comfortable to get involved and join us at the forefront!
