Connected & Involved
The Winston School community is special in large part to our active Parent Teacher Organization (PTO). The PTO works tirelessly to enrich the mission of The Winston School through events, fundraisers and volunteer opportunities.
We’re in this together!
Once your student enrolls at The Winston School, you’ll immediately gain membership to the PTO where you will find a group of parents and guardians who have been where you’ve been and are excited to support you on your journey at The Winston School.
