The primary purpose of LJES PTO, Inc. is to support the education of the children at La Jolla Elementary School by fostering relationships between the school, parents and teachers.
To accomplish this goal, LJES PTO intends to:
1. Support and promote programs that improve the educational opportunities for our students.
2. Increase parental involvement in our school to provide a strong social network.
3. Be a relevant resource for parents.
4. Provide events and activities to build a community with our families, teachers and administrators.
5. Supply a successful partnership between parents, teachers, administrators and the San Diego Unified School District.
6. Create an organization where people feel safe, supported, and where respect is evident.
7. Work cooperatively with the other parent groups at LJES.
The PTO Executive Board meets monthly (the second Thursday of each month in the library) to organize and carry out the PTO objectives for the year. Our meetings are open and we welcome everyone to join us as we discuss programs, activities and expenses. If you would like to be added to the agenda, please email Julie MacDonald.
