PTOtoday.com and PTO Today magazine are essential resources for leaders of parent groups (often called parent-teacher organizations) at the 80,000 elementary and middle schools across the United States. Content focuses on helping the volunteer leaders of these groups run their organizations more efficiently and support their schools more effectively.
Our readers are the most active members of parent groups in K-8 schools. Typically, they hold an office such as president, vice president, treasurer, or secretary. They chair one or more committees and are responsible for organizing specific events or programs.
We run how-to pieces, profiles of programs and people, articles by experts, and first-person articles by leaders. The tone is informational and informal rather than newsy. We never talk down to readers, we use PTO-specific examples to express concepts, and we prefer writers who can use the language of parent groups.
We don’t cover child-rearing issues, and we don’t cover general education topics unless they have a very specific parent group angle.
