About

Mission Statement

To promote the educational and recreational needs of children at home, in school and in the community; to bring the school and home into a closer relationship and to unite the efforts of educators and the general public; to obtain the highest advantages in physical, mental and social education for every child.

What We Do

As a group of parents and guardians, we support and assist the teachers and administrators of our school. Through the time and talent offered by our volunteers and the money we raise through our fundraisers, we are able to provide many programs and events throughout the school year, such as COSI on Wheels, Author-Illustrator visits, and Pancake Breakfast. We are also happy to be able to show appreciation for our teachers and staff throughout the year. We have also purchased the electronic sign in the front of the school, shade for the playground, physical education equipment, art supplies, technology equipment, new books for the library and classrooms, and much more.

PTO holds meetings on a monthly basis to discuss fundraisers, how to allocate funds generated from fundraisers, volunteer opportunities, and ways to support our students and staff at Plain City Elementary. Please refer to your Plain City Elementary magnet for the meeting dates. The meetings are open to ALL parents and guardians and all are encouraged and invited to attend. Teenage babysitting is provided at no charge as a service of the PTO.

PTO Membership

Every fall we have a Membership Drive. Parents and Guardians may join the PTO for a $5.00 fee. You are not required to be a member of PTO to attend the meetings or to volunteer in the school. However, in order to vote on PTO board members and chairpersons, you must be a paid member.

PTO Volunteers

PTO Volunteers are essential to the success of Plain City Elementary! Volunteering at your child’s school is an excellent way to see your child in the school setting and to become familiar with his or her day. If you are unable to volunteer during regular school hours, there are opportunities to volunteer that may be more accommodating to your schedule. Every contribution is important to our school. Volunteering is an excellent opportunity to let your child know how important their school and education is to you. Please take a moment to look at the Volunteer Interest Form that goes out at the beginning of each school year and select the areas you are interested in volunteering for. If you have any questions about volunteer opportunities, please contact the Activity Chairperson or any PTO Officer. Thank you for your support!
