ABOUT OUR PTO
MISSION STATEMENT: Our mission as a Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) at Rucker Elementary is to promote and encourage communication between parents, teachers, administration and the community. We seek to complement the current curriculum, teachers and administrators, and all other school organizations and programs by providing open lines of communication and transparent support. The PTO also sponsors, organizes, and/or supports school events, fundraising efforts, and enrichment programs that enhance and enrich our children's educational, social, and developmental experiences at Rucker.
Welcome, and thank you for your interest in learning more about the Judy Rucker Elementary PTO that serves the campus community. The purpose of the PTO is to support the faculty, staff and most importantly our students. Your new PTO Board has been busy exploring programs, events and opportunities aimed at enhancing the educational environment for all students. We also provide fun, family-friendly events throughout the year.
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE CHILDREN!
