Welcome Back... VIRTUALLY

Here's hoping the start of the 2020-2021 school year has been manageable, so far. We know everyone has much to juggle, between school, work and other responsibilities. Hang in there!

Though we're not back in-person, your PTO is still hard at work providing support to our school community. A few initiatives we've tackled so far include providing small stipends to help teachers set up home office/work areas, funding welcome lunches for staff as well as T-shirts for new staff and new students. We are working hard to plan virtual events that will support our community going forward (more details to come).

As a nonprofit PTO (vs. PTA), we don't collect membership dues, which means you are automatically a member and invited to participate as you choose! 

- Join monthly meetings (3rd Tuesdays each month, check the calendar for more info)

- Volunteer your time (reach out to ptovolunteer@favepto.org to learn how)

- Become a room parent (email your teacher to see if one is still needed)

We do rely on both fundraising events and donations to support our students, teachers and programming. With in-person fundraisers at a standstill, for the time being, you can become a "Friend of F.Ave" and donate today. 

Looking forward to making this a successful year. It's gonna' be one to remember!

The Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is committed to supporting the parents, students and teachers of Fifth Avenue Upper Elementary.

Every year, we plan activities that build our school culture and enthusiasm. Our fundraisers support classroom enrichment, field experiences, facility improvements and provide supplies for our school. Please check in often for updates and information about upcoming events.
