What is PRA PTO?

Platte River Academy PTO (Parent Teacher Organization) is a group of parents and teachers that work together for the benefit of our school and the children being educated at PRA. We aim to foster a sense of community, belonging, and involvement within the school. At PRA the PTO also works closely with families, organizations, and community partners to raise money to benefit the school, kids, and teachers.

What is the PTO Membership?

PTO membership is an annual fee of $30.00 per family. This fee helps the PTO to offset the cost of activities that the PTO puts on such as, Muffins with Moms, Donuts with Dads, Birthday Surprises, Breakfast with Santa, Bingo Night, Movie Night, etc.

PTO meets quarterly at 6:30pm in the library unless noted otherwise (see school calendar for details) .
