PARENT TEACHER ORGANIZATION (PTO)
The Parent-Teacher Organization is an important link between home and school, and it has served as an important service activity for the staff, parents, and community. Parents/teachers/community involve themselves in many activities throughout the school year, all of which add to the fun and excitement that is generated for the children/adults with these events. We urge all parents to become involved in this partnership of school and home. Establish a link at school through this organization. The success of your child depends in a large part upon your involvement with their education.

SCHOOL ADVISORY COMMITTEE (SAC)
The SAC is an advisory group composed of elected parents and professional school staff members whose function is to suggest/advise the Principal and Base Commander on educational matters. SAC members functional responsibilities are to advise on school policies and procedures which are perceived to be affecting students and parents i.e. transportation, safety. What advisory committees do not engage in are political campaigns or issues and negatively oriented pressure groups. They do not raise money, grant scholarships or financially support school events or engage in any monetary projects. They do not make recommendations regarding the hiring, firing, promotion, or transfer of individual staff members or report independently to the public. Advice is welcomed as part of the decision making process.

VOLUNTEERS
C. Turner Joy Elementary School seeks to identify individuals who will volunteer their time in helping the school with individual programs and activities. Our volunteer program remains an integral part of our School Home Partnership. Frequently during the year, there will be occasions in which teachers, name request interested parents/community members as volunteers. Anyone interested in volunteering their services, skills and expertise should contact the school office and fill out a volunteer form.
