Q: Why Should I Join PTO?
A: PTO is a great way to meet other Kendrick parents, interact with teachers, plan activities for your child, and know what is happening at your child's school. The PTO takes pride in helping to provide the kind of school community where teachers and students can excel. Research indicates that when parents and teachers partner together, especially during early education, children have better outcomes educationally, emotionally, and socially.

A: Membership is $5 per person.
Q: Why do I have to pay to be a PTO member?
