Get Involved
If you are the parent or guardian of a student at Abbot, you already are a member of the PTO!
To become an active supporter, you can:
Attend the PTO meetings where important issues impacting Abbot families are decided and committees report on current activities
Volunteer to help in your child’s classroom as a room parent, or to assist room parents with particular parties or activities
Join a PTO Committee that sounds interesting to you
Add your name to the “Service as Needed” Committee to be called for help at one-time events or as needed.
Attend PTO meetings
Everyone is invited to come to the PTO meetings. For 2024-2025, we will be having a mix of in-person and Zoom meetings.
All meetings start promptly at 6:30pm, and we work hard to keep them to 60-75 minutes. We’ll send meeting details via email each month.

Join a committee or volunteer as needed
The support of our amazing volunteers keeps our events and programs running. Commitments can be as short as 30 minutes and there are many opportunities throughout the year.
Read the list of committee descriptions to see where you can contribute. You’ll see the work we do reflected throughout this website in our fundraising, annual events, and programs.
You can reach out to listed committee chairs directly or contact us at abbotpto@gmail.com anytime with questions or to get involved. We also send out an online volunteer form at the start of the school year where you can express your interest in different committees.
Beyond committee work, Run-a-Thon, Book Fair, and the Ice Cream Social all require volunteers to fill a variety of roles. We’ll send out calls for these specific events closer to the respective dates.
Be sure to have a volunteer form on file
In order to volunteer, you will need a current Abbot Volunteer Form on file with the office. It’s a good idea to fill out one at the start of the year so you’re good to go.
