PTO - Kettering Middle

What is the KMS PTO?

A group of caring parents and teachers who collaborate to promote the education and well-being of KMS students.

Reasons why to join the PTO…

1. Research has shown that students perform better in school when their parents are involved.
2. You become part of a network of parents and teachers, which leads to better communication with your child’s teachers, principal, etc.
3. PTO assists in creating a supportive and encouraging school environment.
4. It is a great connection with the school. You will be the first to hear about upcoming school changes or decisions.
5. You are a role model for your child and their friends. By helping with the PTO, you are showing that you value education.
6. It is flexible…volunteer as much or as little as you can. 
7. You can make a difference by sharing your skills.
8. It is fun and you get to meet other parents.
