PTO Info

Welcome to the Mark Twain PTO

Mark Twain Elementary School  has a very active Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO), whose goals include:

  • Fostering better understanding of the learning process through communication between parents/guardians and faculty
  • Helping to meet the needs of students through cooperation between family and school
  • Supporting the school through volunteer and financial assistance
  • Building community

Parents are welcome and encouraged to become an active part of the Twain family. All families are automatically members of the Mark Twain Elementary PTO. All parents are welcome to attend PTO meetings. They are held the first Tuesday of every month at 6:30pm during the school year.

Members of the PTO include parents and guardians of Twain students, faculty members, and professional staff. There are many opportunities to volunteer, whatever your talents, interests, or time constraints.
