Mission Statement
The Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) at
Jefferson R-7 maintains a close working
relationship between parents, teachers, staff and students. It is our goal to
enhance the educational experience by supporting the students and teaching
staff through fund raising efforts to provide additional equipment, services
and special projects. A strong PTO is evidence of parental interest and does
ensure a better school environment for our children. The PTO holds monthly
meetings to discuss and implement the ideas of the parents and teaching staff.
The dates and times for these meetings will be sent home with your child and
are posted here on the Jefferson R-7 PTO
website. Parents are encouraged to attend our meetings and childcare is
provided.
