Parent Committees

What is PTSO?

PTSO is an organization of parents, teachers, and students working together to improve Smoketree Elementary School.

How does PTSO make our school better?

PTSO serves as a means of communication between home and school.

PTSO members help plan and organize special events such as book fairs, school read-ins, theme nights, and guest speakers that benefit students, teachers, and parents.

PTSO donates money (raised through membership dues and fundraising) to the school to purchase special materials not covered by the general budget.

When does PTSO meet?

Meetings are held monthly in the elementary school library. You can check the school calendar on the website or in our monthly newsletter or call the front office for information.

You can contact PTSO at SmoketreePTSO@gmail.com.
