Welcome Benchmark Families!

The PTO at Benchmark Elementary and Preschool strives to enrich and bolster the educational journey by strengthening the bond between home and school. We achieve this goal through active parental engagement and by enhancing the school environment through both volunteerism and financial backing. 

Our PTO is dedicated to cultivating a nurturing, innovative, and thriving atmosphere within Benchmark while securing funds for various school activities and improvements. We rely on the support of the Benchmark community and warmly encourage your active participation. Volunteer opportunities are readily accessible through the Benchmark Blast newsletter and our membership toolkit site under Parent Communication. We encourage every family to contribute a minimum of 10 volunteer hours annually.

Additionally, we conduct in-person and virtual monthly meetings to discuss ongoing and upcoming events, fundraising endeavors, the PTO budget, and our objectives. These meetings serve as a platform for collaborative planning and ensuring transparency in our efforts to benefit Benchmark Elementary and Preschool.

Here are a few of the ways the PTO will keep our Benchmark community updated: 

1. Benchmark blasts: A newsletter emailed every Sunday with Benchmark news and events. Please email ptobenchmark@gmail.com if you’re not getting the blasts. 
2. Bobcat Bulletin
3. Flyers in backpacks
