$15 a year.
Zero expectations.
That's the whole pitch. Your PTO membership comes with no obligations at all — we would love your support in any way you're able to give it, and nothing more than that.
It takes about five minutes.

That's it, you're a member
No meetings you have to attend, no hours you have to log. Come to what you can.
Membership form
One per family is plenty. Fields marked * are required.
Take the emails and skip the rest.
You do not have to be a member to hear about events. Drop your email in and we'll send reminders before each one — that's all it does.
Add a mobile number if you'd like to be included when we start sending text reminders. It's optional, and we won't use it for anything else.
The ones we get asked most.
Where does my $15 actually go?
Straight back into the school. Last year the PTO put about $10,000 into subsidising field trips — roughly $18 a student that families weren't asked to pay — and recently bought Edgewater a Deluxe Recess Pack & Cart, 93 pieces of playground equipment on a rolling rack. The rest goes to events, staff appreciation and classroom support.
Do I have to volunteer if I join?
No. Membership comes with zero expectations. Plenty of members pay their $15 and never attend a meeting, and that is a completely normal way to be a member.
Is it $15 per family or per parent?
One $15 membership covers your family for the school year. No need to submit a form for each child.
Can grandparents and staff join?
Absolutely — grandparents, guardians, teachers and staff are all welcome. Put the student you're connected to in the students field.
What if $15 isn't doable right now?
Then don't pay it. Email us and we'll add you to everything anyway — we would much rather have you involved than have your money.
