What is PTO? 

Parents and teachers working together to support and enrich all Horizon students.

PTO stands for Parent-Teacher Organization. The PTO consists of parents and teachers working together to support and enrich all students at Horizon Middle School. We support school staff, help promote student self-esteem, and assist efforts to solve school needs through volunteers and funding. All parents of Horizon students are encouraged to participate in PTO activities whenever possible, even if you are unable to attend our monthly meetings.  We encourage you to join our Cyber PTO and keep in touch via email.  This gives you the flexibility to decide where and when you are able to volunteer.

PTO activities happen every day at Horizon Middle School with the parents who volunteer in and out of school. Helping out in the classroom, volunteering in the library, preparing a special treat for staff appreciation, chairing a PTO committee, or assisting at a PTO event are all examples of PTO activities and involvement.

PTO has several scheduled family and fundraising events that are planned and facilitated by committee assignments and through our monthly meetings or email connections.  Check out the list of events on the calendar. Signing up to help does not commit you to come to a PTO monthly meeting!

The heart of the PTO is the everyday working relationships between parents and staff. The effort parents, teachers, staff, and volunteers put forth on a daily basis at Horizon has the ability to be extraordinary. On behalf of the PTO, we would like to say thank you to each parent, teacher, staff member and volunteer who works so hard all year long to make our school a safe and educationally enriched environment for kids!
