The Hall-Dale Elementary School Parent Teacher Organization
The Hall-Dale Elementary School PTO is located in Hallowell, Maine. We are a non-profit, tax exempt, registered charitable organization that exists to benefit and enrich the educational experience of every HDES student. All parents, guardians and caregivers of children enrolled at HDES as well as teachers and staff are eligible for membership. To join, simply sign the membership book available at the school office, or at a monthly PTO meeting. All are welcome.
What does the PTO do?
The PTO serves as a forum for communication among parents, caregivers, teachers and staff of students at HDES. We sponsor informative programs at our monthly meetings to consider issues that affect our children, families and school community. This school year, we have heard presentations on learning in this age of computers; video games and internet safety; special education and advanced connections at HDES; family diversity; school consolidation; the HDES foreign language program; and standards based grading. We also raise funds for the educational enrichment of our kids, including field trips and special in-school presentations.
When does the PTO meet?
Meetings are held once a month on the second Tuesday starting at 6:30 pm and are held at the HDES. Subcommittees such as programming, fundraising and special events also meet throughout the year.
