St. Mary's School, Richmond, VA

Parent-Teacher Organization

What is a PTO?

St. Mary's School Parent-Teacher Organization is simply your "P.T.A." equivalent. All families of children enrolled in St. Mary's School are automatically members of the PTO and teachers are organizational members.

What is our mission?

to encourage the values and principles of Catholic school education;
to develop and promote opportunities for volunteerism, contributions, and fundraising;
to foster the importance and commitment of the mutual educational responsibilities of students, parents and faculty of the school;
to partner with the school pastor, principal, and faculty in order to develop, encourage, and promote the continued growth of the school and its community.

You are encouraged to contact any PTO Board member throughout the school year to discuss your questions, concerns, suggestions or just to share your child's success stories at school. We are here to represent the needs of the students, teachers and parents in our mission and decisions.
