PTO (Parent Teacher Organization)
The PTO had a very successful 2019-2020 year in bringing fun filled activities and support to our students and families.
- Our first school wide activity was in September, with the school wide book fair. Traditions at Solana, a neighboring assisted living development, donated $500 to our Grandparent Night during the book fair. Thanks to this generous donation, all students who brought a Grandparent to the book fair, received a FREE book.
- In October, the PTO hosted a Bingo Literacy Night for K-5 Families. This evening was well attended by over 45 families, playing a variety of Literacy Bingo Games.
- November was the biggest event of the year, with the Thanksgiving Food Drive, providing 100 Turkeys and Food Baskets for our own, IMSA North families. Mr. Jackson, a parent and PTO member, was instrumental in securing a $1,000.00 donation from Cargill Foods.
- In December, the PTO sponsored three IMSA North families. with Holiday assistance.
- February, the PTO sponsored our first annual Palentine Party for grades K-5. Students were able to celebrate Valentine’s Day after school, with their friends and family members, playing board games and puzzles.
- In May, the PTO donated funds to both the 8th Grade and High School Graduation committee needs.
Our fundraiser proved profitable throughout the year, with two school wide skating parties. The PTO is excited to continue our success in providing family activities and assistance to our IMSA North families in 2020-2021.

September Town Hall Meeting / PTO Meetings
On September 29, 2016, we had a great time with the parents at the Town Hall Meeting and the PTO Meeting. Eight parents came.
Officer Adkins had a presentation about Bullying and important messages to the parents, very beneficial. The parents requested access to the presentation and we will work on providing it to them.
After the presentation I opened the floor for the parents for questions and it was a very honest conversation. Parents were very pleased by the exchange and I feel very good about their support moving forward.
We have all four PTO positions filled.
President: LaShawna Cole
Vice President: Kowayla Hubbard

Also they had some good suggestions we will consider implementing.
August Town Hall Meeting / PTO Meetings
Dear Parents,
We want to hear from you. This year we started having Town Hall Meeting followed by PTO Meetings. My goal is to hear from parents, get their feedback and make positive improvements at our school. We held our first Town Hall Meeting and PTO meeting this Tuesday, August 30th, 2016. We started with Town Hall Meeting at 5pm followed by our PTO meeting at 6pm. We had six parents and five staff members in attendance.
Another goal we have this year is to be become a resource for our parents in the areas they seek help. Please check the survey below and let us know the areas we can provide support. We are working on bringing professionals to answer your questions on these areas as part of the Town Hall Meeting and Parent Teacher conferences.
