HPS PTO Elections to Take Place at the Next PTO General Meeting on Thursday May 6 at 7:30 pm |

In order for the PTO to exist and to evolve, it requires new parents every year who want to engage and effect change. We seek a broad reach so that we can incorporate the opinions and desires of the entire Hyde Park School Community. There are absolutely no requirements to volunteer in a PTO position, and you will be mentored by the person currently serving in that role. Every parent on our current PTO board juggles work, kids, life, and was once a first-time volunteer. So you will not walk alone--this is your opportunity. We welcome all candidates to come forward and join the team!!
SLATE OF ELECTED POSITIONS- Voted on May 5, 2022, @ 6:45 pm during our last meeting of the year.

Vice Treasurer- Assist the Treasurer with the basic financial operations of the PTO.

The committee is comprised of community members, parents, support staff, teachers, and administration. Each of our representatives must be a parent, grandparent, or legal guardian of a student at Hyde Park School, and CPS employees may not serve as parent representatives. You must commit to a two-year term ending in June 2024. Candidates should also be able to attend all, to the extent practicable, of the LSDMC meetings.
