Our PTO

The Barton PTO is a partnership between caregivers and teachers dedicated to advocating and
improving the Barton experience for every student in our school. Our goal is to help provide an inclusive, supportive and enriching environment by encouraging positive and respectful relationships within our community.

Everyone is welcome! We are led by caregivers and volunteers.
PTO meets monthly and provides free childcare and dinner.

● We plan events, fundraisers & other activities within school and the community
● We communicate about school activities to caregivers and educators
● We organizes volunteer activities within the school
● We discuss ways to advocate for students, teachers and support staff
● We work closely with teachers and the health office for ongoing needs/requests
● We discuss important MPS happenings
● We work closely with the Barton Foundation which is the fiscal agent for all PTO activities

Here is a list of some highlights and volunteer opportunities with PTO. We have a talented
community of caregivers and appreciate everyone’s knowledge, diverse expertise and help to
continue to improve Barton. Any level of commitment is appreciated! Volunteer Page Coming Soon!
