AIS Parent-Teacher Organization
Welcome from the PTO President
All parents and guardians are welcome to join the Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO), an active nonprofit group. The group is dedicated to enhancing the educational experience of the AIS community, fostering a strong and supportive community, and school spirit. It exists to support the educational goals directed by the administration, and to organize social and fundraising events which strengthen and support the school.
All AIS parents are welcome to attend the PTO meetings, Parents' concerns are discussed at the meetings, along with event planning, and future project development suggestions.
Election Time
The PTO elections are approaching soon, and any AIS parent or guardian is eligible to run. This year, all jobs are up for grabs. If chosen, you will be requested to serve a one-year term with a maximum of three terms. This is an opportunity to assist with fundraising and directing where these extra monies are spent, community initiatives, and, of course, supporting our teachers.
Voting will take place at the next meeting, which will be held on Tuesday, May 23. If you have any concerns or would like further information, please contact your current PTO at ais-pto@austinis.org. The positions and responsibilities are described here.
Volunteer Opportunities
We thank each and every one of you for being part of our community. We have so many wonderful opportunities to learn and celebrate together and we appreciate your support in giving your ideas, time, and energy towards our school events and fundraising initiatives. We truly would not be able to accomplish all of it without you. Thanks for all that you do to help support the PTO and the school!
You will find multiple opportunities and different ways to help on our group page organized by category. We have shifts organized by the PTO like Pizza Fridays, Bake Sales, or Uniform Exchange or our school events like International Week, FundRun, or End of Year performances. We will also utilize this tool for classroom sign-ups as well. So be on the lookout for other additions and invitations to participate throughout the year. To see how you can help and sign up for a shift, click on the signup.com icon below.
Thank you for giving your time in advance and here's to a great school year!
