On-Line Ordering for the Fall Fundraiser

Remember, family and friends who live far away can still help out with this year's Highland View Fall Fundraiser.  They can order on-line and have everything delivered right to their door, and still help our school.  Feel free to send this link to anyone you know that you might not get to talk to in the next two weeks.  They HAVE to enter the code:  HIGH46 in order for this to help Highland View though!

The website to place on-line orders for the Highland View fall fundraiser is:

And don't forget the code:  HIGH46 

Greendale Step Up to better Health Run/Walk

Don't forget the Greendale Step Up to Better Health Fun Run/Walk!  It's October 21st at 10:30 Am at Greendale High School.

Registration forms are due OCTOBER 5th--that's this FRIDAY!  You can click here to get the form.

Money raised goes to Highland View if you choose.  This year we would love to have a huge Highland View turn-out!

Thank You!

A tremendous "Thank You!" to everyone that came to our first meeting.

It is always heartwarming to see so many parents interested in taking an active role in their children's school.  Please feel free to use us as a resource for any questions you may have, or ideas you might want to share.  Our PTO lives and grows because of parents like you.  Every program we run, every event we put on, every new tool we share with teachers and staff started out as an idea that came from a parent just like you.

Please continue to learn and grow with us through this 2012-2013 school year.

And if you need 3 good reasons to remember to come to our October 15th meeting:
1)  We'll talk a LOT less about fundraising!
2)  Superintendent Tharp is excited to meet his fellow Highland View Parents, and
3)  The new statewide school report-card system will affect all of us, and Kim Amidzich's presentation will make sure we understand what's going on.

"When parents get involved in their children’s education, grades go up, test scores go up, children become more likely to attend better schools after high school, they have fewer discipline problems, and they’re less likely to use drugs and alcohol. This is supported by more than 500 independent studies about parent involvement! "

Welcome!

Welcome to the new Highland View PTO website!

While putting together our schedule this year, we realized the PTO does a lot at Highland View, almost too much for us to keep track of.  We've designed this website to help you keep track of what we're doing and to help you become a part of it all.

Keep your eyes open as we all look forward to a great 2012-2013 year!

Volunteers Needed!

A lot of people have stepped up to help out this year, but there are still things we need help with!  Yellow events are in desperate need of of coordinators/chairpeople.  (Of course if there's anything--even something not highlighted--that you'd like to help with, we'd love to have you!)
