Supporting
You & Your Child
From
Kindergarten Orientation Through
High School
Graduation!
Parents and Guardians,
Welcome to the 2016-2017 Hull
Public School year! The Hull Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) encourages you to
be active in the school community and join us in providing extraordinary learning
opportunities for your child.
The PTO is made up of a group of
parents and teachers that work together to give the students opportunities
within and outside of school to enhance their education. Together we provide thousands
of dollars toward activities and items that the students might not otherwise
have. These include class field trips, in-school cultural programs, books, special
guests and speakers, after-school and enrichment opportunities, and support for technology in the classroom. Not all of these
opportunities are able to be supported by the town budget and we recognize that these supplementary activities are
important parts of our children’s education. With great pride together we make
them happen.
Active fundraising is how we are
able to financially support all the activities and items that enrich our students’ academic experience. Our goal
is to raise $50,000 for student activities for the 2016-2017 school year. This
comes out to about $40 per student. The PTO has planned a number of fundraisers
to support this goal. We ask that you, family and friends participate in as
many as possible, but you should not feel obligated to participate in all of them.
If you are not interested in participating in the organized fundraisers, we
strongly encourage you to donate directly to PTO’s PayPal
Account, send the donation in with your child clearly marked for Hull PTO,
leave your donation at a monthly meeting or visit the PTO table and donate at
an upcoming Open House event!
Our meetings are open to all Hull parents,
teachers, and community members. Those who are members of the Hull PTO are
eligible to vote on any/all issues raised at our monthly meetings. Membership dues
are $10 annually. Additionally, if you pay 2016-2017 $10 PTO dues by October 3,
2016 either online at www.hullpto.org or at Open House, you will be eligible to win one
of five great prizes: $25 gift certificate to the fall book fair, community cookbook, child’s long sleeve Pirate T-shirt,
pirate pride trash bags, or a surprise goodie bag.
Please mark your calendars for this year’s meetings:

In addition to these meetings, the

involved in as many of these activities as you feel reasonably possible. We
have fun together and the students have enjoyable and meaningful experiences as
a result of your involvement.
With your help we are looking forward to the 2016-2017 school year being
the best one ever for Hull Public Schools. If you have any ideas, comments or suggestions,
we want to hear from you. Please contact us at any of our officer email addresses

you can share it and make a direct and positive impact on Hull Public Schools!
