PTO CHAIR SIGNUP FOR 2018/2019

It is hard to believe that we are beginning to make plans for NEXT year already!! The nominating committee is working on selecting committee chairs for the 2018-19 school year.  Our process for gathering names of those interested in leading these committees has changed.  We are asking ALL—both RETURNING chairs and NEW chairs—to go to MEMBERSHIP TOOLKIT - CLICK HERE to sign up. Login to your family account and you will find the sign up under MyAccount/FormsAndPaperwork/VolunteerOpportunities

Chairing a PTO committee is one of the best ways that parents can support the students and staff at our school. Please review the brief descriptions of each chairperson opportunity and indicate your interests. Please also identify if you are a returning chair to the committee. Generally positions are 2 year commitments. Your contact information will then be forwarded to the PTO nominating committee for review.  Chairpersons for the 2018/2019 school year will be notified by May 1st. Please feel free to share this information with any friends/parents you think might be interested in chairing a committee next year, including families with incoming 1st graders!! We would love to have as many families as possible involved in the wonderful activities we plan for the students at Kildeer. We thank you for your continued support of the Kildeer PTO!!
