Central Elementary PTO
Welcome to Central Elementary PTO!
Join us for our Coffee, Snacks & Conversation at our monthly PTO meetings. They provide an excellent opportunity for parents to learn about all of the events and initiatives occurring at TCA Central. Your PTO Board wants to be a helpful resource for you as you show your support for the TCA Central Community.
Parental involvement is critical for a successful school. Dedicated teachers, staff, and parents help make TCA Central Elementary a great school! Join us – it’s rewarding, it’s important, and it’s fun! PTO is a great way to meet other parents and to learn more about how the school operates, its needs, and its plans for the future.
We hope you will find these webpages a useful resource. Please take the time to learn about TCA Central PTO’s Mission and goals and find a volunteer opportunity to fit your skills, availability, and strengths.
TCA Central is very fortunate to have such a strong parent support system. We thank you for your help and generosity!
