Parent Teacher Organization

Mission Statement:

The purpose of the Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is to enhance the educational experience at DMIS through volunteer and financial support.

We will do this by:

Fostering a close community encompassing students, parents, teachers, and administration across all language programs.
Providing immediate or short-term improvements that are outside of the normal operating budget which will complement the strategic and long-term plans of the board (i.e., Music and Art Programs, Roof Tiles, Garden, Stage, Technology in Classrooms, etc.)
Supporting and promoting international, community-building events (International Bash, Annual Gala, World Tea Fair, Talent Show, etc.).

What is the DMIS PTO?
The DMIS PTO organizes several community-building events throughout the year such as the World Tea Fair, the Talent Show and the International Bash. In addition, they fund a variety of school projects such as purchasing new risers for the stage, stocking classroom libraries and renovating the Elementary building kitchen. The PTO is able to do this through small fundraisers like Pizza lunches, Cookie Dough Sales and Book Fairs.

Why is the DMIS PTO important?
In addition to these events and projects, the PTO is a way to meet other parents within the DMIS community across all language programs. It allows parents to complete workbond hours in fun and social ways while helping to improve the school.

How can you get involved?
One way is to attend a PTO meeting, generally held the third Thursday of each month from 8:45-10 a.m. Another way is to sign up for a committee here.
