It is time!

2026-2027 Board Voting has opened! As members of our Parent Teacher Organization (PTO), we invite you to take part by casting your vote for each board position. You only need to vote once and all votes are anonymous.

Bylaws Update – Membership Vote Required
In addition to voting for our 2026-2027 Executive Board, we’re also asking for your approval on proposed changes to our Bylaws. This year, we’ve created ANOTHER new Board position - our Creative Engagement Director! This new role will work directly with staff, students, counselors and be on campus frequently to help foster a positive, inclusive, and connected school community. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, any changes to our Bylaws must be approved by a vote of the membership (you).
