GATES PTO MISSION

The Gates School Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is a dynamic parent/teacher group that creates and delivers programs
and events to support student enrichment and foster community among the families and staff at Paul P. Gates School.

OUR GOALS

• Encourage Parent/Guardian Involvement
• Promote Parent-School Communication
• Support School Needs Through Volunteering and Fundraising

What is Parent Involvement?

The entire Gates community benefits when parents and teachers work together to promote Gates’ Core Values; Generosity, Acceptance, Trust & Respect, Enthusiasm and Scholarship. We can foster and model the importance of volunteerism, open communication and the balance between school, home and community.

What is Parent-School Communication?

The PTO and Principal work together to provide opportunities throughout the year to open communication between staff and parents regarding important school and family related issues.  Through Discussion Topics at bimonthly PTO meetings and special presentations the PTO fosters open and honest communication within the school community.
