Overview
Throughout the year, the PTO organizes a wide variety of programming to support the curriculum, build community and raise funds to enhance student learning at Cottage Street School. These include events for kids, events for families, service to the school and community, and fundraisers to support CSS. The CSS PTO is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. For details, see below.
Join the PTO and help make our school great!
All PTO members get a copy of the Cottage Street School directory free. The directory, which contains class lists and contact information for students, makes it easy for you to connect with other CSS families.
The PTO offers a wide variety of volunteer opportunities, allowing you to do as little or as much as you like. We’re currently looking for volunteers to join PTO committees. Please let us know what you’d like to do this coming year. You can contact us via email at [email protected]. We welcome your ideas of new ways to help make our organization great!
The officers for the current school year are included below. You can find lists of PTO Committees and Room Parents in the menu above.
