ACA PTO
WELCOME!!
Our ACA PTO supports our student and teachers by providing them with everything they need to maintain an exciting well supplied learning environment- and we need your help! It’s easier than you think.
Myth #1: PTO is a huge time commitment.
You can volunteer as much or as little as you’d like. Bring a single dish to a teacher appreciation lunch, commit every Friday to Spirit Cart, or something in between (like hanging decorations for the Father-Daughter Dance). You DO NOT have to volunteer for every event.
Myth #2: PTO is simply a fundraising organization.
Nope. The PTO does organize fund raisers, but all of that income is poured back into the school thru organized family events (pictures with Santa), classroom supplies (computer monitors), or fun stuff (the new playground)! Anything to make school more fun for our kids!
Myth #3: My child won’t benefit from my joining the PTO.
Actually, research shows that students with involved parents perform better in school, score better on standardized tests, have fewer behavioral problems, are less likely to use drugs and alcohol, and go to better colleges. Besides, they LOVE seeing their parents decorating bulletin boards in the hallways or popping popcorn at movie night.
Myth #4: ACA PTO doesn’t need me. They have it all together.
We do have a pretty great team of parents, but there will ALWAYS be room for you. Sign up to receive our PTO emails and we will send you reminders about our events. You decide if you have time to volunteer. And ... we are always looking for dads; especially when we have heavy lifting!
We Understand
Although every parent is not able to volunteer, we know that you want to keep up-to-date will all PTO events, ... right? We're glad that you agree! In order to do so, we need your email address! Please take a moment to send a quick email to us at: aristoipto@gmail.com. After typing your name, along with your child’s name and grade, feel free to include any questions, concerns, comments, complaints. If you choose, you may also include a contact telephone number.

SPIRIT DAYS & SPIRIT CART
Every Friday the PTO celebrates Spirit Day by offering students and teachers a chance to purchase a special snack and items from our Spirit Cart.
Snacks – Available for purchase are:
~ two Otis Spunkmeyer cookies for $1.00
~ fresh popped popcorn for $.50/bag (based on the snack rotation)
If your child would like to purchase a snack please send the correct amount of money with the words: PTO snacks on the envelope. The money is turned in to the teacher and a PTO representative will go room-to-room to collect the money each Friday morning.
Spirit Cart – After eating lunch, students can purchase novelty items such as pencils, toys, erasers, bracelets, etc. No food or candy is sold at the Spirit Cart. Prices range from $.10 per item to $2 per item. Each students is responsible for keeping track of the money brought for Spirit Cart purchases.
