I am in your shoes exactly. The school didn't have PTO last year and the previous years didn't go well.
I made up my own form letter... I told what PTO is actually all about, most people really arent sure. At the bottom of the letter I gave 3 choices for
meeting times and a choice to just help with events.
The bottom section is to be returned to school with name and phone #. We will see how it goes. Membership cards might be fun but I definately wouldnt have a fee.
Are you looking for a survey or just more of a "would you be interested in doing this" kind of letter?
As for membership cards, some groups use them and some don't. Our group stopped issuing cards and charging membership fees a few years ago. It might be best for you to operate that way at least for the start. It might encourage more people to get involved.
I need help with some forms to put out at our School Open House. Our school is very small and had a PTO a few years ago. I am trying to get it going again and need some help. I am looking for some type of form letter to put out at the Open House to try to get people interested in getting involved with the PTO. I would appreciate anyone's input.
Also are there membership cards anymore? And do they charge for membership a nominal fee?
