Parent/Teacher Organization

Research supports that family involvement in a child's education is an extremely important factor in raising student self-esteem and academic achievement. The involvement of families at Bear Creek Community Charter School is one of the pillars on which the school was founded.

The Bear Creek Community Charter School Parent/Teacher Organization (PTO) is an active partner in providing students with unique opportunities and supporting school-wide programs.

PTO Meetings

The Bear Creek Community Charter School PTO meet monthly while school is in session. The meetings begin at 6:00 p.m. in the School Dining Hall. Everyone is welcome! Meetings are generally held the second Wednesday of every month.

PTO Membership

Each year, the PTO sponsors many events such as field trips, a Holiday Bazaar, Field Day and the Spring Festival. These are wonderful activities that compliment the hands-on educational process that gets Bear Creek Community Charter School students excited about coming to school and learning! However, to participate in the planning, as well as sharing in the enjoyment of these activities with your children, you must be an active member of the Bear Creek Community Charter School PTO. To join the Parent/Teacher Organization, download the PTO Membership Form.

PTO Fundraising Opt Out

Throughout the year, students are provided with opportunities to participate in various field trips and other activities such as the annual Spring Festival. Reduced-priced yearbooks are also made available to students. Many of these activities are funded or subsidized by the annual fundraising activities of the Bear Creek Community Charter School PTO.

Participation in last year’s fundraising efforts was very limited, and as a result, the PTO is concerned that student activities may be negatively impacted. We all know that there are times where we simply can’t sell anything more or we just simply don’t have the time to participate in a particular fundraiser. The estimated annual cost to fund ongoing activities is approximately $60.00 per child.

We understand the financial constraints of the current world, but also we want to make sure we can continue to provide these activities to your children. We urge your participation in all the fundraisers since most have incentives for your child to win prizes as well as help fund student activities. For parents who prefer to opt out of fundraising but want to help ensure these wonderful student activities continue, there are other options available. Learn More.

PTO By Laws

The Bear Creek Community Charter School PTO will work together as a group to foster a spirit of cooperation and communication between parents, school administrators and the teachers. It is our goal to continually improve and expand the opportunities for our children to have educational, cultural as well as recreational experiences that would complement activities provided by the school.
