A school parent group, whether PTO, PTA or some other name, has the potential to be such a brilliant spark to ignite family engagement…

But the reality of getting any parent group into shape where it isn’t taking up loads of precious time in your office or email inbox is A LOT.

 

Because parents aren’t stepping up to volunteer like they used to…

That’s probably because they aren’t clear on what they’re supposed to do or how to do it and actually need massive amounts of mentoring.

 

But the truth is you don’t have time to learn the ins and outs of everything involved with a school parent group or train parents either…

You’ve already got literally about a hundred other things competing for your time, energy and focus.

 

If you’re ready to enjoy the satisfaction of a highly-functional school parent group, all while reducing your workload in guiding and supporting them, then you’re in the right place!

Powered Up Parent Engagement System visual resources for effective parent-school communication and involvement.

School parent groups don’t come with instruction manuals.

It all depends on the life experience of the individual leaders.

Some groups even default to making it up as they go along, which has mixed results, at best.

Our time-tested systems are highly adaptable to fit the circumstances and needs of your particular school parent group and give your volunteers exactly what they need.

Fostering greater family engagement in your school community doesn’t have to be yet another thing to get to… someday.

The Powered Up Parent Engagement System is ready and waiting for your school’s parent group leaders so they can make family engagement happen for you, today.

Why trust me?

Christina Hidek is a PTO nerd with a mission to make life easier for all school volunteers and leaders.

I know what it takes to run wildly successful school parent groups, whether PTO, PTA, Booster Club, etc.

The lessons learned from over 15 years of PTA volunteer and leadership experience, plus a career as a litigation attorney help shape the best systems, tools and resources for the volunteers giving back to their school communities!

I founded PTO Answers because I wanted others to more readily step up in their school communities and give of their time and talents.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Is this just for school parent groups starting up?

    This collection has been designed with new and existing groups in mind!

  • Will I get printed copy of the resources in the mail?

    No. All of the resources are digital and ready to be used instantly. Print what’s needed, when it is needed.
