Parent-Teacher Organization or PTO (all parents): Sponsors events and fund-raising activities for the school.  PTO Meetings bring together the home and the school so that parents/families and teachers may cooperate in the education of our children.  All PTO Meetings offer free childcare for children two years of age and older, and English to Spanish translation.  PTO Meetings are the first Tuesday of every month from 6:00 to 7:00 PM at Century Oaks.
