Welcome parents and guardians to the Fall Creek Academy PTO!

As Fall Creek Academy PTO board members, it is our responsibility to support students, teachers and staff at the school and very importantly – to encourage you to get involved in your school.  But first, since this may be your first time at Fall Creek Academy, let us explain what the PTO is all about.

What is the PTO and who can be a Member?
Becoming a member does not mean you automatically sign up to volunteer, it just means you support our group and believe in what we’re doing.  You will see our membership tables at all of the curriculum nights this school year.  All parents and caregivers, along with school faculty can be members, for only $5!  Of course you may donate more if you are able. Your membership dues includes your entire family and can be paid at any time through October. Forms will be available at registration and always at the PTO tables at school events.
 

Why YOU should get involved?
We need your help, and so do your children.  Over 500 independent studies on parent involvement show that when parents get involved in their children’s education grades go up, test scores improve, children are more likely to attend better schools after high school, they have fewer discipline problems and they’re less likely to use drugs and alcohol.  Get involved TODAY by contacting your school PTO at fcpto@geoacademies.org.

Please fill out and return the PTO “Count On Me” form that came with your registration materials.  We’ll contact you to discuss it further.  Also, a volunteer table will be set up at all registration nights but you are welcome to get involved at any time throughout the year!  Volunteering doesn’t have to mean a huge time commitment.  We understand it is increasingly more difficult to find time to give, but please, whatever your time schedule allows, we have need of you.  We even have tasks that can be performed in the evenings, during the day or that don’t even involve coming to the school at all.
