Ottawa Parent Teacher Organization
WELCOME!
The PTO (Parent Teacher Organization) is a group of Ottawa parents/guardians teachers and staff dedicated to improving the educational experience of all students at Ottawa Elementary. When you attend the PTO meetings, you get an inside view of what’s happening at our school. When you volunteer, you are promoting a supportive relationship with the school community while participating in some of your students’ favorite events!
