Do you need Volunteers? & How can I sign-up to help with an Event?
Yes! We love it when parents volunteer to help with Events. Simply go to the Volunteer page and fill in your information. Select the event you want to help with and then show up at the event!

Can I be a part of PTO without signing my life away?
Why yes you can! Being a part of PTO does not mean committing to monthly meetings, or being up at the school for several hours each week or even being up at the school at all! Would you like to help at just a single event? Would you like to do something fully on your own time? Would you like to give just a couple hours for the entire year? Would you like to be President Elect? If you answered yes to any of these questions, we have a job for you. Bottom line is we cannot function without many helping hands so we will happily take whatever time you have to offer, no pressure to do more! Stop by the PTO table at Meet the Teacher to see how you can help!

What is the easiest way to support MacArthur and the PTO
We have 2 incredibly easy ways for you to support the school. It takes 2 minutes to sign up and from there, you just sit back and watch the money roll in.
1. Sign up for PTO Newsletter/Alerts here.
2. Sign up for Fry's Community Rewards
*With these organizations, once you have signed up, they will donate a portion of what you spend to our school. It adds up FAST and provides some great income for our school. This isn't limited to families only. Get grandparents, aunts, uncles, co-workers, neighbors and friends etc to sign up too!
In fact, if you do those three simple things you will have a chance to win two gift cards ($50 to Fry's Food and $50 to Amazon!) After doing those three things you will need to stop by the PTO table at Meet the Teacher to be entered into the drawing for those gift cards. Make sure you stop by the table to be entered. Good luck!
We look forward to all the great things in store for our school this year!
