The Duffy PTO is all about supporting our students, teachers, and school community.
Our work is focused on three simple priorities:
Supporting Teachers & Students
We help provide resources, classroom support, enrichment opportunities, and appreciation efforts that enhance the school experience for every student.
Building a Connected Community
We create opportunities for families, students, teachers, and staff to come together through events, activities, and shared school traditions.
Advancing Equity & Access
We work to ensure PTO support reaches all classrooms, students, and families so every family feels included, welcomed, and supported.
We welcome parents and families to get involved in ways that fit their interests, schedules, and availability.
Below, you will find current PTO Team and volunteer leadership opportunities, along with past PTO meeting agendas and minutes.
Please visit the Committees Tab for more details about getting involved in Duffy events, committees, and fundraising throughout the school year.
