The Puma Pounce
Back to School Edition
Dear Milwaukie El Puente Families,
Welcome, Puma Families, to the 2026–2027 school year! We are so excited to begin another year of learning, growing, and building community together.
The Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is a group of families, teachers, and staff working together to support our students and strengthen our school community. Throughout the year, the PTO helps organize family events, support school activities, provide opportunities for families to connect, and partner with our school to help make El Puente a welcoming and engaging place for all students.
The Puma Pounce newsletter will help keep you informed about upcoming PTO events, beginning-of-the-year activities, volunteer opportunities, and other important ways to get involved. We hope you’ll join us as we kick off the new school year and create wonderful experiences for our Puma community!
Be sure to follow the PTO on Instagram and Facebook for the latest announcements, event reminders, and school community updates. You can also visit the PTO website to meet our new board members, learn more about the PTO, and stay up to date throughout the school year. Following us online and checking the website is a great way to make sure you don’t miss what’s happening!
We look forward to connecting with you and your families soon. Here’s to a fantastic school year!
Warmly,
Milwaukie El Puente PTO
