Welcome to the Alexander PTO! We volunteer together to create a positive experience for students, teachers, staff, and families. Parents are automatically members, no dues required.

The PTO is only as effective as the parents involved. So, we need YOU—some of your time, energy, and passion about your child’s education. Please join us once a month at our month PTO meetings, "like" us on Facebook, sign up to be on the Email List to receive opportunities to volunteer, donate, or to stay up to date on what is going on at the school. Simply email alexanderelementarypto@gmail.com with your name from the email account you want added to the list.

Alexander parents regularly attend District Parent-Teacher Organization (DPO) and school board meetings to learn more and advocate for the resources necessary to benefit our children's education. If you are interested in attending with us, or if you have an issue you would like brought to the school board's attention, please email us or come to a monthly PTO meeting to have your voice heard.

• Classroom field trips
