Active parent participation has always been a hallmark of Cabot School.  Parents' willingness to help in a variety of ways strengthens the partnership between teachers and parents and enriches the educational experiences for students.  There are many ways that parents can become involved through the PTO, School Council, and classroom.  If you would like to work on a PTO- or Council-sponsored activity, contact the PTO co-presidents or appropriate committee chair.  If you would like to volunteer in your child's classroom, please make arrangements with the teacher.

PTO Membership
All parents/guardians of children in the Cabot School are automatically members of the PTO. Voluntary membership dues are solicited annually and help support the various programs and activities.  In addition, fund raising activities provide revenue that supports PTO programs.  The PTO By-laws are posted on the PTO bulletin board in the main lobby.

PTO Meetings
PTO meetings are held six to eight times during the school year and are announced ahead of time in the school newsletter (Jabberwock.)  All parents and faculty are welcome and encouraged to attend.  The PTO meetings provide for guest speakers about interesting topics, an exchange of information, opportunities to discuss committee work and updates from the Principal.  Meeting minutes are posted on the PTO bulletin board.`
