What Is PTO Council?

Each Shaker school has a Parent Teacher Organization, and every parent/caregiver and teacher of a Shaker student is automatically a member. PTO Council is a district-wide umbrella group that connects all eight of the individual schools’ PTOs. PTO Council oversees collaboration between the units and with other groups to engage and support students and families throughout the district.

PTO Council is responsible for:

• Coordination of and collaboration between the individual PTO units

• Acting as a liaison between District Administration and individual school PTOs

• Overseeing the electronic distribution of weekly school newsletters

• Compiling PTO information for the annual printed and online District calendar

• Administering the Shaker Schools Family Directory

• Collaborating with the Family and Community Engagement Center

• Holding public PTO Council meetings to share interests across all our schools

• Preparation/filing of tax returns for all Shaker schools’ PTOs

• Organization of selected district-wide unifying events, such as MLK Day and Senior Clap-Out
