The purpose of the Riverdale School Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is to strengthen, enhance and encourage the educational and social environment of Riverdale School. Its goals are to complement the school curriculum with additional opportunities for parents, teachers and students to learn, socialize, communicate and grow.
The PTO is run by a Board of Managers, it is comprised of parents and staff who are associated with Riverdale School and are elected or appointed to their position. The Board meets on a monthly basis throughout the school year. Board members manage the organizational and financial aspects of all the PTO functions.
The PTO operates on an annual budget. The money used to sponsor PTO activities is raised through PTO annual fundraising events.
All families and staff members are encouraged to support the PTO and participate in PTO activities throughout the year.
The success of the Riverdale School PTO can be measured in the cooperative spirit with which parents and staff work together to share their care and concern for the students. The PTO’s success can be seen in the student’s appreciation for their school, their teachers and the opportunities presented.
