Dear Thomas Fitzwater Families,

As we embark on a new school year, the PTO would like to extend a warm welcome back to all students, parents, and staff! We hope you had a wonderful summer filled with fun, relaxation, and cherished moments.

The PTO plays a vital role in enhancing the educational experience at Thomas Fitz, and we are excited to kick off another year of collaboration, support, and community building. This year promises to be filled with engaging activities, exciting events, and opportunities for parents to get involved and make a difference in our school.

RunPTO.com  will be our hub for the PTO, Parents, Committees, Volunteers, and Events. It will also be the platform that hosts our Student Directory. RunPTO.com is an easy-to-use platform that does require “membership” for easy access. Membership includes the Student Directory so please sign up by clicking HERE, and click “sign-up” to get started. Signups will run through September 27th. PLEASE READ the detailed instructions on how to fill out the membership sign-up listed on RunPTO How-to
