News from SWES PTO
PTO: What does that even mean?? The PTO is a Parent and Teacher Organization that builds community among families, bridges the gap between teachers and parents, and enriches the school experience. The PTO organizes fun events, raises money to help families in our community, and assists with school projects. The Weller PTO will be losing a significant number of parents next year. We're looking for new parents to step in and help our team of awesome volunteers! Being involved in the PTO is a great way to become plugged in and get to know your child's teachers, friends, and fellow parents. We have a variety of open roles with different commitment levels. We'd love to chat more about how you might help.

School Supply Fundraiser
Our PTO's school supply fundraiser is up and running for next year! Each box sold helps raise funds for special events and activities for our students. Click for our school's online store!
Our teachers work hard on their lesson plans, and there's a very good reason behind every item on the school supply list. However, when everyone in town is flocking to the same stores, the shelves get picked over in a hurry, until a red 2-pocket folder with prongs feels like a rare artifact.
Instead of skipping hard-to-find items or grabbing something “close enough,” skip the store and search for our school on SchoolToolbox.com. You’ll find the exact list put together by your child’s teacher, and you’ll be able to buy everything on it in just a few clicks. Take the stress out of back-to-school shopping. Buy from School Tool Box and get back to your summer.
