PTO

In Community

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.

  • In the spring of each year a nominating committee is formed by the Vice-President to build a slate for election of leadership for the upcoming school year as described in the organization's bylaws.
  • Those who are interested in serving on the PTO board as an Officer or Chairperson are encouraged to attend a PTO meeting and register their interest with the President or Vice-President.
