Richmond Community Schools feels our children's education is best served by a team, the combined talents of our best teachers and your child's first teacher...you.

We encourage you to participate fully at your child's school, at whatever grade level they may be, and one great place to start is your school's Parent Teacher Organization (PTO). There are no dues required to join these organizations and there are many ways to participate at your child's school.

To learn how you can become a part of this important team, do the following:

1. Visit the Elementary School or Intermediate School page.
2. Select your child's school.
3. Select PTO on the left hand menu.

You may also be interested in several organizations that help you understand the roles of PTOs in schools. The following sites are great places to learn about these organizations:

PTO Today is a website full of feature articles, helpful tips and hints, and of fund raising activities. Click here to sign up for their online newsletter.

PTO Central is a central information resource for PTO groups and other school related parent teacher organizations.

We look forward to getting to know you!
