WHAT IS THE PTO?
Welcome to the PTO! We are proud to have an active and dynamic PTO, where every parent, guardian, and teacher at PS 282 is a member. Together, we are able to foster a strong, supportive school community and an enriching educational experience for our children.
Below is our meeting schedule. All meetings are hybrid: in person in the Auditorium and on Zoom. We encourage at least one family member to attend each PTO general meeting. Your participation is crucial—this is your school, and we need your support!
