NLSD122_PTO_40_logo.jpgParent Teacher Organization                                

The New Lenox PTO is a service organization dedicated to promoting unity and communication among all the schools in our district, providing opportunities for parental involvement in our children's education, and offering financial assistance to the school district.


All families in the district are part of the PTO - CHOOSE TO BECOME ACTIVE!

- support PTO fundraising: Golden Opportunity Book Sales in the Fall; Gift Card Sales in the Fall, Winter, and Spring; Flower Sales in the Spring; monthly Market Day sales; dine at local restaurants

- support PTO Events: Summer Social, Bunco Night, Fun Fair, 5K Walk/Run

- support PTO efforts: volunteer in the schools!

Every year, the PTO offers equal funding to each of the 12 schools:

  • school funds to be spent as each principal sees fit (check out below to see what has been purchased this year!)
  • funds to enhance the LRC
  • funds to update the playground carts
  • back-to-school teacher allowances for certified staff - encourage your teacher to take advantage!
  • Faculty Academic Support Grants to certified staff - Ask your teacher if they have taken advantage of these offerings!

Check out the PTO Corner from your school's newsletter.
