PTO
All parents/guardians are automatically a part of the PTO. There are $10.00 annual dues that cover PTO administrative costs, due in May.
PTO meetings are the only way the PTO can communicate effectively with parents. We hold Board meetings in August, October, November, January, February, March, April and May. We will also be holding three General Membership meetings in October, January, and May. Please attend these meetings — it is a wonderful way to mingle with other parents and keep up with the social aspects of the classroom. We welcome ideas for guest speakers.

Parent Incentive Participation Program (2010-2011)
Parents of students enrolled in St. Bernard's Elementary School (Grades K-8) may participate in the Parent Incentive Participation Program administered by the St. Bernard's Elementary School PTO. The Parent Incentive Program is offered as a token of appreciation from the PTO to encourage families to participate in PTO fundraising efforts which benefit our school. PTO membership and payment of annual dues ($10) is required to participate in the program.
Parents may contribute 30 person-hours toward 2010-2011 tuition from April 1, 2010 through March 31, 2011. Tuition credit for those familes taking part in the FACTS Program will be disbursed in three (3) $100 amounts, one each to the August, December and April tuition payments. Each $100 disbursement will be made upon the completion of 10 hours service at an event recorded by the PTO Incentive Coordinator. It is the responsibility of the parent to make sure hours worked at an event are registered. Sign up sheets can be found in the school office the day of the event.
The PTO Board of Directors (Board) will establish fund raising events and establish the Parent Incentive Participation needs for each event in conjunction with the event chairperson. The Board may establish minimum or maximum parent participation in any event.
There will be a maximum payment allowed of $300/family. Hours worked may not be donated to other family incentive totals unless the donor is a relative of the recipient family. Exceptions to the family cap are for the Carnival Head Chair (who receives $500) and the Holiday Fair Head Chair (who receives $400).
In addition, any person chairing a new event which nets a profit of $5000 or greater will receive an additional (one time) $100 regardless of whether the family cap has been met. All other exceptions must be presented to the Incentive Coordinator, who will then present it to the PTO Board for approval.
The fundraising events for which incentive hours may be worked are the Summer Carnival in June and the Holiday Fair in November.
Notes with specific information regarding events, dates/times, chairpersons, and sign-up will be sent home through the school or direct mail.
Questions may be directed to our Incentive Coordinator, Marsha McCue.
