Does anyone out there have a PTSO at their middle school? Our middle school is from 6th-8th grade and by the time kids are in middle school most parents are burnt out. Anyone have any success in the middle schools?

Thanks

In our middle school there is no pto. Each grade fund raisers on their own. Each grade holds 4 a yr. plus booster clubs are fund raising, too. So our m.s. doesn't want a pto. Each m.s. is different, talk to the principal & then the staff to see if they are interested in one. You are right, most parents aren't interested in pto after the elem. Good luck!!!!

Below is a link for a middle school with a very active PTSA:

This is not in my city, but my sister's children went here and she was very involved in their PTSA. This is a fairly large (1,200) school and I understand their board is made up of 100 members. This is how they get people involved--everyone is on their board! The "catch" is that this is a magnet school so there is a high concentration of very involved parents there.

Our middle school is a PTO. They are very active. This next year will be my first year in the PTO. Up tell now I have been part of elementry, and high school groups ( both PTA & PTO & booster).

If I can help I would love to
