You can view more about the PTO Board and the open position on the PTO Website. The PTO Chair, Jenner Moretto and I are available to chat with ZERO obligation to join the Board– We'll all be along for this ride with you as we work together towards the same goal of supporting our kids' education and the school community. We are all parents, most work full time or have additional volunteer positions, responsibilities and LIVES... But we work together to build the role around the current needs of that specific chair & our school. ISLA is a public charter school that can only fully thrive with the help & support of parent/caregiver involvement. Below, I've listed a few ways you can contact Jenner & myself with any thoughts, ideas, questions, etc.  Looking forward to a great school year!!

Facilities Committee Offer!

Our ISLA Facilities Committee has been hard at work this summer!

If you'd like to join the crew, we work Tuesday nights from about 6:30 - 8:00pm to support various tasks and make connection with some great parents and staff.

In addition, if any families would like sand for a sandbox or home project, please come and pick it up from the Southwest corner in the coming weeks.

Thank you!
