Crew Parents

The Exploris PTO is looking for crew parent volunteers for the 2023-2024 school year!

Crew Parent Responsibilities:

  • Be the fun by supporting the teachers:  coordinate supplies, volunteers, parties, bring snacks for the teachers, help with PTO projects such as Art By Me.
  • Join PTO’s Slack:  gives an easy platform for communication for the Crew Parents, plus you will see the inner workings of the PTO.
  • Attend the general PTO meetings and keep your grade up to date on any important PTO information.  Meetings will be held every month on the third Wednesday from 6:30 – 7:30pm. 
  • Help with Teacher Appreciation Week.
  • Teacher Birthdays:  PTO is in charge of giving $30 gift card, parents are in charge of the celebrating (could be a sweet for the entire class, hang balloons, any birthday type surprise).
  • Brainstorm with other Grades:  K – 2nd grade, 3rd – 5th grade and middle school could be their own group to support each other and brainstorm ways to support the teachers .

If this sounds like something you are interested in doing, please email Astra Ball at volunteers@explorispto.org Please include your name, email address and the grade your child is currently in at Exploris.
