Parent Teacher Organization
Kiski Area North Primary PTO
The Kiski North Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is composed of family members of students and faculty members. Our primary mission is to enhance our students’ learning experiences and this comes in a variety of ways.
We organize and sponsor some of your child’s most memorable elementary school experiences. This includes Field Trips, Book Fairs, Dance-A-Thon, Santa’s Workshop, the Art Show, Assemblies, Class Parties & Field Day… to name a few! The Kiski North PTO is an invaluable resource for our students, as well as our teachers. We have a large student population, and thus require a robust group of volunteers! Please join the PTO and join the fun!
