Our mission as a PTO:

To encourage the educational climate of Chief Umtuch Middle School by building student morale, by strengthening communication ties between parents and teachers, and by encouraging the cooperative development of the CMS family for the betterment of students, families and the community overall.

 

The values of our PTO:

Communication – We believe in a unified effort between parents and teachers in educating children academically, socially, and otherwise.

Helpful – We are committed to understanding the concerns of teachers as well as the needs of students; we strive to establish high quality programs in support of each.

Interest – We are curious, absorbed, and we seek to be involved in the lives of our children.

Esteem – We respectfully appreciate the role of teachers, we admire the efforts of students, and we venerate the value of quality education.

Fellowship – We are devoted to sustaining a student-centered environment of togetherness, teamwork, and stability.

 

Ongoing Fundraisers

SCRIP is now available to support the band program, buy gift cards for birthdays, anniversaries or just because and support our students. Click here for more information

Box Tops for Education- PTO continues to collect Box Tops for Education, each box top is worth $0.10, if we all pull together we can accomplish great things for the kids. Please have your child turn them into the office when bringing them to school; the collection box is located on the front counter.

Not into fundraising or have a tough schedule to work with, we understand. We also accept monetary donations to the PTO for those who still want to help but don’t have the time. The Chief Umtuch PTO gives grants to each grade as well as the specialists in our school. Community is the key in PTO; we hope to see you soon.

We all would like to welcome you to the Chief Umtuch Middle School PTO.
This is a free and strictly volunteer based organization.
We hold 2 Scholastic Book Fairs and 2 BIG events, sprinkled with a couple of student FUNdraisers
each year. If you are interested in becoming involved, 3-4 hours a year is all it takes.
