PTO Welcome 2025-2026

On behalf of the Rowe School Parent Teacher Organization (PTO), we are so excited to welcome you to the 2025-2026 school year! We are a family-led organization that promotes communication between parents, teachers, administrators, and the community. We accomplish this mission through meetings, community events, enrichment programs, and fundraisers throughout the school year.

Everything we do is on a volunteer basis and we are always in need of people who would like to help make this year fun and successful. We encourage you to learn more about what the PTO does at our website. Look for our upcoming newsletter for ways you can be involved. If you would like to be notified of volunteer opportunities throughout the year, please email Ashley at president@roweschoolpto.org. We hope you had a wonderful summer and look forward to engaging with you throughout the year.

Warmly,

The PTO Executive Board

After you meet your student’s teacher and explore their classroom, join the PTO and other Rowe families for Otter Pops (aka popsicles) on the Playground.

• To learn more about these events and future events, visit https://roweschoolpto.org/calendar

We invite your family to join the school wide directory. The PTO will distribute a school-wide directory that families can use to contact other parents to coordinate playdates, arrange carpooling, and send out birthday party invitations. You can also opt-in to a classroom directory that Room Parents will distribute at the individual classroom level.

Click here to add your family to the school-wide directory here.

There is a new directory each year, so please add your information even if you did so last year! Please complete a separate form for each Rowe student. The school directory is for personal, social use only and may not be used for solicitation, advertisement, marketing, or mass emails. For questions, email vicepresident@roweschoolpto.org

The PTO is looking for volunteers to commit 2-3 hours per month and sign up as Room Parents. Room Parents help build community at the classroom level and serve as a liaison between teachers and families. Recommended activities include:

• creating and distributing a class directory

• organizing parent volunteers

• coordinating teacher appreciation gifts

• working with other Room parents to organize 1-2 grade level-wide community events/playdates

Sign up to be a Room Parent here!

This year, the PTO is excited to continue Rowe Champions, a monthly sustaining donor program. The Rowe PTO supports many of the day-to-day enrichments our students enjoy by funding field trips, purchasing classroom supplies, and holding community events. Learn more about what the Rowe PTO – a 501(c)3 with an annual $30,000 budget – funds here. Please consider giving $10 per month for each student you have at Rowe, and, if you have the capacity, please consider giving an extra $10 to support another student. Become a Rowe Champion today!
