ABOUT CITYWIDE PTO

Our mission is to advocate for the achievement and delivery of high-quality equitable education for 

every student in Quincy Public Schools (QPS).

Our purpose is to represent the collective voice of parents/guardians across the city, and to bring that parent/guardian perspective to QPS administration and members of the Quincy School Committee.  

Create a safe environment for QPS parents/guardians to discuss the QPS system 

Host informational presentations on a variety of topics

Brainstorm ways to improve the experience of students and parents 

Offer recommendations on QPS policies, proposed policy changes, and annual budget
 

Raise awareness of problems or concerns faced by QPS students and parents/guardians 

Advocate for open communication at every level of the school system

Request information from QPS

Providing the opportunity for individual school PTOs to work collaboratively and share resources and best practices

We do not charge membership dues or fees. General membership is considered to be every parent/ guardian of a current QPS student. 

We strive to ensure at least one parent from each QPS school is in attendance at our meetings and is involved in group discussions.

Executive Board members, along with Citywide PTO officers, comprise the leadership of the organization. 

Any interested general member in good standing may ask to join the Executive Board.

Citywide PTO hosts monthly meetings during the school year. All QPS parents/guardians, teachers, administrators, and interested community members are welcome. 

Any person in attendance may speak on any issue, however, only parents/guardians of current QPS students may cast a vote.
