Working Together

Parent Teacher Organization — parents and teachers working together for a quality educational experience that reaches beyond our school's doors. BCPSA requires parent to donate two hours a month to help the school. The PTO can help you meet these requirements. Ask us how you can help.

PTO Meeting Minutes

September 28, 2009

Bay County Academy PTO

The purpose of the Parent Teacher Organization, PTO, is to help improve the overall experience in school for as many students as possible. As a PTO, we will try to bring to the school things that BCPSA students may not receive any other place in their lives. If we can offer these students an opportunity to try something new or experience something out of the ordinary, then we are enriching their lives as well as their education. We can spend all of our time, effort and finances on playground equipment or we can concentrate on the things that will make a difference on a different level, a difference in the futures of the kids that attend BCPSA. The after-school enrichment programs, in-school programs and special events that we sponsor are designed to do just that. To offer experiences directly to the students.

We do not intend to be a collector of in-school problems. As individual parents, we must learn to ask questions of our teachers and administrators, not spread rumors or keep concerns to ourselves. You are certainly welcome to attend any PTO board meeting which is held on the third Monday of the month at 6:30 p.m.

PTO Operations

As a PTO, we have found a great way to get things done. You are familiar with the concern of being overwhelmed by volunteering no matter what group you belong to. At the BCPSA/PTO we hope to make it easier for all by using our heads. The old saying goes "How do you eat an Elephant? One bite at a time!" The PTO has decided that if we get enough people to "take a bite" then this "elephant" will get eaten.

Each board member is in charge of overseeing a particular area. For example, one is Academics. It is PTO Academic Directors' job to try to find a chairperson or two to oversee programs in the academics area. Then we will try to find a parent or two to take on one task, like the Spelling Bee. The Spelling Bee Chairs will plan out the event and make changes and improvements based on their best efforts. When it's time for this event, parents will be contacted to fill the spots needed to have a successful program. This does many good things for the school, PTO and parent. We get things done, we don't overwhelm volunteers, we set up a "track to run on" and we get more people involved.

If you would like to get involved in this process, being a chairperson of an event or a helper/planner or just a volunteer, please let us know and say "yes" when you get that call to help. For more information about general operations please see our bylaws pdf.

After School Enrichment

It is our intention to offer as many programs to as many students as possible. However, budgets, time and the number of participant will limit who can get involved. If you have any questions or suggestions please contact us.

Please be on the look-out for registration forms coming home with your child or
