Pizza Bingo Is April 11

Pizza Bingo is Thursday, April 11!  Pizza will be available via pre-order, which can be done through MTK.  We will be running our silent auction online this year.  Watch this blog and social media for more information as we get closer to the date!

D96 School Directory / Family Contact Info

Throughout the year, the PTO has gotten requests for contact information for your student's classmates.  This directory is not maintained by the PTO, but can be found at this link:  https://kcsd96.membershiptoolkit.com/

You are able to sort by teacher, grade or school.  Please note, families do have to opt in to be included in this directory. 

 

Did You Order Your Yearbook?

Be sure to purchase your student's yearbook for 2023-24 through MTK.  Yearbooks were NOT sold during registration this year.  If you are not seeing the form on MTK, you already ordered.  You can only order one book per student.  

Order here:  https://prairiepto.membershiptoolkit.com/open_forms

 

Consider an Open PTO Board Position

We have two open spots on our PTO Board.  Please consider joining us!

Sign up here or email us for more information:  https://prairiepto.membershiptoolkit.com/open_forms

 

Ordered Yearbook, Dessert Day and Special Lunch?

Have you ordered your student's 2023-24 yearbook, signed up for Dessert Day Membership (once and done for the school year) and ordered special lunches?  ALL these forms are available on MTK.  Please remember, Special Lunch and Dessert Day forms do close in the days (sometimes longer depending on the vendor) leading up to the event in order for the PTO to place orders.  We cannot accept late orders.

Order here: https://prairiepto.membershiptoolkit.com/

PTO Mission

While we host several fundraising events, the mission of the PTO is to have events where our children can have fun, parents can meet other parents and we can bridge the gap between school and home. We truly want to have a sense of community among all our families. We welcome you to the community and are so excited to have you become part of the family. When you sign up to attend events, buy Spirit Wear, participate in Dessert Day, Special Lunch, or donate, we are able to support our community in new and creative ways, including:

Please consider volunteering or donating items for events. We appreciate your support!
