The PTO is a volunteer-run organization. We need volunteers help to continue providing all of the services to students, teachers, and the larger Dallin community. Whether you want to do hands-on organizing of an event or stay behind the scenes sending some emails – we hope you will consider volunteering to your comfort level!
If you are interested in getting involved in the PTO, there are many opportunities to help out, whether it is supporting teachers, helping with STEAM events, fundraising, and more. These opportunities include:
- The PTO Board helps coordinate all of the activities of the PTO. There are currently openings on the board for:
- Co-President
- Outreach Coordinator(s)
- Coordinating Student Enrichment Opportunities to supplement learning. This includes arranging author visits, artist visits, assemblies, and STEM enrichment like museum visits etc.
- Fundraising: This includes helping with the annual fund, the rummage sale, the auction, and coordinating shopping days at local retailers and restaurants.
- Community Outreach and Events: This includes reaching out to new families, organizing picnics, pancake breakfast, game nights, field day and more.
- Teacher Appreciation: This includes Teacher Appreciation Week and other ways to show appreciation to teachers during the rest of the year.
- Garden and Grounds: Helping maintain the science garden and Dallin grounds in coordination with the custodial staff.
- Room Parents: Each classroom needs two room parents. Room parents provide support for your child’s classroom teacher, facilitate communication with classroom families, and take the lead on teacher appreciation gifts. Learn more and sign up to be a room parent here.
- And so many more! We need liaisons to Arlington EATS and Arlington Education Foundation, to coordinate help for the art and library teachers, coordinate the literary journal, review and award mini-grants, and more.
