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!

The PTO is open to all caregivers and everyone is automatically considered a “member.” There are no dues or other monetary/voluntary obligations to participate.

Currently, the PTO is run by the Administrative Committee (Admin Co). The role of the Admin Co. is to provide a centralized resource for caregivers to connect to volunteer opportunities, facilitate conversation between caregivers and school staff, and continue to develop the school community. Individual volunteer committees plan and execute specific events and efforts.
