About Your PTO
Connecting with the Brackett PTO is a great way to become involved in your child’s education
The Brackett Parent Teacher Organization is a parent-led effort to support our school through community building and enrichment activities for our students.
Have an impact on the direction of your child’s education by joining one of our committees or take advantage of the opportunities to be present for small moments in the school or at one of our many activities. Volunteer opportunities come in many shapes and sizes, even an hour or two of your time can make a difference and add to the enrichment of our students’ experience.
