On behalf of the Hopkinton Parent Teacher Organization, welcome to the 2024/2025 school year! 

The HPTO is a non-profit, volunteer organization dedicated to the students and staff of Hopkinton. We provide support for educational and recreational programs, and promote open communication between the administration, teachers, and parents.

The PTO funds activities and programs to enhance the school experience, and provide much needed support, such as:

WHAT IS THE PTO

The Hopkinton PTO is an all-volunteer, parent-run, non-profit organization dedicated to enriching the education of Hopkinton Public School children and fostering community within the schools. The PTO keeps parents connected and engaged by facilitating a closer relationship between the schools and home and by serving as a communication link between the two.

HERE ARE SOME OF THE WAYS THE PTO DELIVERS

• supports educational programs spanning all grades K-12 and coordinate visits by select authors, artists, educators and performers
• sponsors parent education events with guest speakers representing various disciplines, like Dr. Jill Walsh on helping children establish technology boundaries.
• coordinates back-to-school parent socials each fall helping to build important grade-level parent connections.
• organizes social events for parents and children like the Tall & Small Ball, Harlem Wizards Basketball Game, and more.
• Provides PTO Scholarships for graduating seniors
• hosts regularly scheduled Teacher & Staff appreciation events to build and maintain important connections and show appreciation 
• Coordinates & runs extracurricular classes for students at their schools to encourage additional learning experiences.  These classes can include but are not limited to sports, baking, art, STEM, etc.
• creates volunteer opportunities for parents and guardians to participate in the learning experience and support the teachers and administrations
• Improves communication between the school and parents and guardians with newsletters, social media and additional forms of communication

BENEFITS OF PTO MEMBERSHIP

The annual membership fee is $30 per family. By paying that fee, you support the many ways the PTO engages with the school community as shown above. Your membership also grants you access to the Membership Toolkit online directory and phone app, a very helpful resource for parents.

Volunteering is not a requirement of PTO membership, but we welcome volunteers to help with the many events that happen across our schools throughout the school year. These events happen because people volunteer their time and talent, and there are many opportunities of different time commitments to get involved. We have an amazing public school district thanks to the talented and dedicated faculty, staff, administration and parent volunteers. We look forward to seeing you throughout the year ahead at the principal coffees, various parent education events, and many of the PTO-supported events and activities our team of dedicated volunteers help to organize.

Please feel free to reach out and let us know how we can help you or if you’d like to get involved.
