PTO - Partnership between Parents and Teachers for OUR Children Thank you for visiting our West Indianola Parent Teacher Organization web site. Just the fact that you are reading this means that you are already involved in your child's education. When parents are involved in their children’s learning, the students have higher test scores, grades and graduation rates. They also have better school attendance, better self-esteem, lower rates of suspension and are less likely to use drugs or alcohol or be involved with violent activities.
Every teacher, parent, and legal guardian of an West Indianola student is a member of the PTO and is invited to our monthly meetings where we discuss and vote on all activities for the year. The PTO meetings start in September and are generally held on the THIRD TUESDAY of each month in the W.I. Library. The exceptions this year are as follows: The October meeting will be on the 14th. There will be no December meeting due to the short holiday month, the March meeting will be on the 24th because of spring break, and our final meeting of the year will be on May 12th. The meetings begin at 7:00 PM and last about an hour.
2008-2009 PTO Officers Thank You Volunteers!
Thank you to Yvonne VanMeter, Amber Poteete, and Melissa Brunetti for helping out with school pictures. We are still needing volunteer chairs for the Fall and Spring Teacher Luncheons, National Education Week, School Supplies for '09-'10, and 6th Grade Promotion. Playground Equipment!  As most of you know, for the last couple of years, all of the fall fundraiser proceeds have been budgeted for updating the school playground equipment. After researching several equipment options, speaking with district officials, getting input from the teachers and staff, and lastly having the kids themselves get involved and vote on which playground piece they liked the best, the PTO is pleased to announce that at the October PTO meeting, it was voted on and approved to purchase a new piece of playground equipment from ABCreative in DeSoto, KS. We would like to thank everyone involved in this process, the PTO Board, the Playground committee, the Teachers/staff, and the students. This did not happen overnight so thank you for your patience. I know the kids are very excited about the new equipment. Would you like your comments to be heard? Be sure to check out Superintendent Mathes' Blog on the distict web site. Read and/or post comments about what you thought about the kids getting released from school early for the homecoming parade. This blog is always changing so plan on going often. Web page input? Is there something you would like to see on the PTO web page? Do you have school related informaton that you would like to post? Please email the webmaster at webmaster@wipto.org. Several people have already emailed me about adding a school lunch menu, so I have added links to both the August and September menus.Participation from our PTO members is what makes our activities and events a success. We are looking for volunteers for the 08-09 school year.
