PTO Officer Elections

Election at June Meeting · June 9

Up to 5 officer roles available for the 2026-2027 school year. One-year term. Summer availability for planning is required.
Our next meeting will have our first ever election. More interest forms came in than open seats, so parents will need to be present (in person or virtual) at the June 9 meeting to vote.
Interest form due May 22. Recent PTO involvement is helpful. Once we have the final candidate list, we'll share bios and each candidate will speak briefly before the vote.
