The Channahon District 17 Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) is made up of parents and teachers who are interested in fostering a cooperative spirit among parents, patrons and school staff. This organization meets periodically throughout the year to provide informative programs for parents/guardians. In addition, the PTO oversees a variety of fundraising events and projects. Money raised from fundraising activities is used to purchase materials and equipment for the schools. All parents are encouraged to join and attend the PTO.

What is the PTO:
The Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) of Channahon School District 17 is a volunteer-based group of parents and staff with the following goals:

• To provide a means of ongoing and organized communication between parents and staff.

• To offer opportunities for parents and community member to become involved in the education of our youth.

• To enrich student's educational experience by providing programs and activities for students and their families.

 

How can You Help?
The PTO benefits from any time that you donate.  Everyone is welcome to attend our monthly meetings or help with the various activities.  If each parent donated just one hour of their time each school year, the benefits to our school district would be phenomenal.  If a donation of time is out of the question, please help us by supporting our fundraisers throughout the school year.  Thank you!
