PTO Information

What Is PTO?

P.T.O. = Parent Teacher Organization

St. Cyprian’s P.T.O. strives to enhance the overall educational atmosphere of our school. Through this organization, parents actively volunteer their time and talents to enrich the school and its programs. Our P.T.O. volunteers help out in a variety of ways, from assisting teachers with office duties to providing occasional meals for our faculty and staff. Additionally, P.T.O. works to raise much-needed funds for school. Funds raised by P.T.O. have provided the school with new cafeteria tables, picnic tables and classroom funds for each of our teacher.

At St. Cyprian’s School, we work together to involve all parents and grandparents at any level of participation or interest.  We have several volunteer positions and welcome parents to be a part of the ongoing success here at our school.

Without the P.T.O.‘s support, St. Cyprian’s could not have achieved the success it has over the past 50+ years!

How Do I Join P.T.O.?

At St. Cyprian’s School, we encourage all parents and grandparents to participate in P.T.O. at any level. There is no formal membership application or fee. All parents and grandparents become eligible for membership when their child is enrolled.

Those interested in P.T.O. are asked to sign-up on various committees at the beginning of the school year. Committees include: Fall Festival, Hospitality, Sally Foster Gift-Wrap Sales, and TAPP. Last, but not least, is St. Cyprian’s legendary Bayou Bash! Volunteers are needed to help with the planning, soliciting and decorating for this fun and exciting event.
