We recommend that you make every parent or guardian with a child in the school automatically a member of the PTO. Many groups charge dues, but that creates a mixed message for parents -- you're asking them to participate and volunteer on one hand, but you're asking them to pay for the privilege of doing so. By declaring every parent a member of the PTO, you can legitimately take a "we're all in this together" tone in your communications.
