Parent-Teacher Organization
The Marymount Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) is at the center of our community and provides a much-appreciated support network for families. The PTO's contributions to the life of the school through fundraising, event organizing, and providing a 'soft landing' to families who arrive during the year are the social glue that underpins our Marymount culture. All parents are automatically registered in the PTO when they enroll their children.
The PTO has formal bylaws and board officers, and its main responsibilities are to actively support student learning and to uphold the mission of the school. Elections for positions of responsibility on the PTO board are held annually. The PTO board meets formally with the Leadership Team at the beginning of each school year.
Homeroom Parents
Homeroom parents work with their respective homeroom teachers to coordinate and organize class events with the help of parent volunteers in the same class. Being a homeroom parent is a great way to get more involved in your child’s class, to see your child in their class environment, and to get to know teachers and other parents. It is an important role as you serve as a point person for parents in a particular class to help them navigate class activities, engage in parent-related opportunities, and connect with the PTO. Homeroom parents are a particularly important resource for incoming families throughout the year who need to get up to speed quickly and appreciate receiving guidance from the parent of one of their child’s peers.
