We send our PTO membership info out 1 week and then our volunteer form out the next week. Previously, we used to have it all on one piece of paper. We found our parents equated joining PTO meant they would be asked to do something. Has anyone else encountered this?
our form undergoes yearly changes. Membersip application is on 1 side (parents' names, add, phone #, e-mail add. & student names & their techers. we state on form that this info will be used in the student directory (included in $2. membership fee). We also give them choice to be in directory only (still need to pay if want to receive one), PTO memb.w/dir. listing, or PTO memb.w/NO dir. listing.
Other side of form lists the different volunteer opportunites (committees, etc...) with a spce to check the areas of interest. New this year, we've added two sign-up columns to encourage BOTH parents to sign up for committees.
Ours is pretty basic...tho' I am working on creating a data base on my pc with info gathered, we still use good ole paper and make lists to keep in a binder of each committee, activity, etc, and the list of folks willing to help. Here it is...
Areas in which you would be interested in helping:
Membership drive (fall) Playground duty (scheduled)
