Parent Teacher Organization (PTO)

- to support school functions, teachers, and scholars.
SPIRIT SHIRTS!
To meet the purpose of the PTO, the PTO sponsors activities and projects, which always cost money. The primary source of fundraising is through PTO Dues.
PTO Dues are used for:
- School Activities – Movie Nights, Dodgeball Tournaments, Fall Festivals, etc.
- Academics, Arts, and Sports – Financial support for Computers, Software, Books, Equipment, etc.
- Gifts – Staff Appreciation Gifts, Staff Appreciation Luncheons, etc.
Each household is only expected to pay $25 each year. Please pay by clicking the button below and logging in to your My School Bucks account.
To see previous years’ calendar, please visit our PTO Archive.

The PTO does not do the coordinating for you. However, the PTO provides a contact map, via which you can find and contact others who are also interested in Carpooling and live nearby. Sign up here to be added to and receive a link to the map.
You can also contact Hop Skip Drive which offers transportation for students from their home to their school, and back, plus after school activity transportation. Heritage Academy has no affiliation with this company.
You can also reach out on the Heritage Academy Gateway Facebook pages, public and private, to look for willing collaborators.
