Box Tops for Education
Box Tops can be clipped from participating products and turned into school throughout the year or during the fall and spring competitions. Each Box Top is worth 10 cents. Paris Ridge can also earn money from eBox Tops when you shop online at participating retailers. Check the school calendar for the dates of our fall and spring competitions. You can also download the Box Tops app and choose Paris Ridge Elementary School to benefit. Scan your grocery receipts and the PTO receives the money quarterly from Box Tops, which helps fund our budget.
Amazon Smile: Choose Paris Ridge Parent Teacher Organization as your charity. We receive .5% of eligible purchases. We receive this money quarterly from Amazon which helps fund our budget.
Get Connected with the PTO
Join the Paris Ridge Families Facebook group to stay up-to-date on activities and connect with other families! Updates will be posted first in our Facebook group.
Would you like to join the email list? We understand that some families prefer email over a Facebook group, so please make the choice that works best for you. We will try to limit the number of emails that are sent so if you would prefer "real time updates," please consider joining the Facebook group. Click here to request to add your name.
PTO Community Meetings
Who is invited to attend a PTO Meeting?
Everyone! All parents and caregivers with a child at Paris Ridge Elementary are encouraged to join us for our PTO Meetings.
Who is a member of the PTO?
All Paris Ridge families plus our staff and administration are all members of the PTO. We all work together!
What happens at a PTO Meeting?
The PTO Board will discuss upcoming events and important activities happening at the school. Those in attendance will be the first to know the latest news!
If I come to a meeting, does it mean I am volunteering to help at all of the events?
Of course we would LOVE your help throughout the year, but no, coming to a meeting does not mean that you have volunteered for a school event. But attending does mean you can help us shape the PTO sponsored events at our school.
