Mission Statement

The PTO mission is the advancement of Catholic Education and the welfare of all the children of St. Joseph's Elementary School and by extension, all of the children of the St. Joseph's Parish.

The St. Joseph School PTO provides an environment for parents, teachers and administration to work together to enhance and maintain the school's high quality of education and its integral role in the St. Joseph's Parish community.

The PTO hopes to:

  • be a link of communication between home and school;
  • provide opportunities for parent education;
  • select and complete possible school fundraisers as needed and approved by the principal and pastor;
  • assist the Volunteer Program in providing volunteers for various PTO functions;
  • support present and future school programs.

Membership

Membership in the PTO consists of all parents and guardians of registered students at St. Joseph's School who have paid the $15.00 per family annual membership dues, together with the faculty and staff of the School, and the Pastor of St. Joseph's Parish.

The legislative authority of the PTO is vested in the PTO Council which consists of the President, 1st Vice President, 2nd Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, the Pastor of St. Joseph's Parish, the Principal of St. Joseph's School, the Faculty Representative, and the Immediate Past President.
