GIFT GIVING

GIftCrowd is a wonderful way to show your appreciation for your classroom teachers and staff.  Look for links soon, to gift your child’s biggest supporters!

REPEAT–Membership Toolkit Be sure that you have registered your child/children on Membership Toolkit. Please use a frequently checked email address when registering. The PTO uses this online database system to organize our school activities. This system helps us conduct business, organize our volunteers and streamline our communications to you. Plus, parents can pay for events by credit card and easily view what they have purchased! 

**A friendly reminder regarding Membership Toolkit: Please be sure you Complete the Checkout Process by hitting “PLACE ORDER.” A receipt will pop up on Membership Toolkit immediately after you place your order and then you will be emailed a copy of the receipt shortly after you place your order. If you do not receive a receipt, then your order wasn’t placed!** 

Let’s get started! 

1. Click here to access our Kildeer PTO Membership Toolkit webpage. If you are new to the Kildeer PTO Membership Toolkit, create an account using your personal email address. If you have a Membership Toolkit account from another school, no need to create a new login — you can use that account to log in (for example, from Willow Grove).
