2026-2027 Barton PTO
The Barton Elementary School Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) is a volunteer-led org that brings together caregivers and school staff to foster community, support students and teachers, provide a connection between caregivers and Barton Foundation fundraising, and celebrate our wonderful school! Our goal is to help provide an inclusive, supportive, and enriching environment by encouraging positive and respectful relationships within our community.
There are no dues or other monetary/voluntary obligations to participate.
The PTO is open to all caregivers and everyone is automatically considered a “member.” PTO holds open meetings about every other month, during which we provide free childcare and dinner.
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!
