Who We Are
Conant PTO is comprised of parents, caregivers and teachers working together to support our school by building community, raising funds for enriching student activities, and having some fun! Every parent, caregiver and teacher is automatically a member – yes, you are part of the PTO! – there’s no fee to join.
Conant School is truly fortunate to have dedicated and generous parent volunteers. Our PTO invites and encourages every parent or caregiver of a Conant student to participate by sharing their time, talents and resources to make our school a wonderful place in which to learn. By giving caregivers like you the opportunity to be actively involved with your child’s education gives your child a better opportunity to succeed. By participating, you send a message to your child that you care: about them and about their school.
