HPE PTOEach year many of the events at our school are planned and executed by volunteers from the Parent Teacher Organization (PTO). The PTO is comprised of HPE parents, teachers and guardians and depends greatly on the selfless time commitment by the community. The more people involved, the better the school-year experience will be for our teachers, students and families. The 2020-2021 open positions are listed below (attached are the descriptions). While we don’t yet know what school will look like next year, we do know that it will take the whole community to create a fun year for all. Please consider volunteering for one or more positions for the next school year. You can choose to chair an open committee or simply volunteer to help. Join up with your friends and volunteer to take on the same event or task! We welcome all volunteers!Thank you for everything that you do to make our school a more fun, inclusive and memorable experience for our children and families.
