PTO Welcome

Hello Friends,

As a parent, guardian or staff member of Eastside School, you are part of Eastside PTO (Parent Teacher Organization).  Eastside PTO is an organization separate from Eastside School.  We support our school children and their teachers. 

You are being represented by a fantastic group of PTO Board Member parents.  Those who have devoted themselves to Eastside PTO this year are listed below. They work hard behind the scenes, making things happen for you and your kids.  Our board meets with parents and teachers the second Monday of each month in the Teacher’s Work Room right after school.  If you have new ideas to share, or would like to be one of the active volunteers, please join us.  

When it comes to our programs, we need your help to reach our goals.  Your support is vital to the success of Eastside.  We are asking you to spend a few minutes registering Martin's, Meijer, Target Card, etc. as an Eastside supporter on the "Links" page.  Together, we can make a difference. 

 Eastside PTO  Board Members:

President: Lynette Wideman                      
Vice President:  Mechelle Celie
Treasurer: Stacie Hall
Secretary: Tammy Stanton
Teacher Representatives:  Michelle Frost, Enrichment Programs
                                       (second teacher officer position vacant)
     

Yes, as a "3-For-Me" registered school, we now use the program's Parent Teacher Network website.   Many are pre-registered: use your last name as a log-in and Eastside as your password, then clink "my section" in the upper right hand corner to change your password.  After you're registered, you will be able to log your volunteer hours under "3-For-Me", access the calendar, share ideas through surveys & forums, etc.  
Contact Information:
PTO Officers can be contacted through the website above (click on PM to send them a message), or by calling the school office at (269) 683-2585. 
Our mailing address: Eastside School, Attn: PTO, 315 N. 14th Street, Niles, MI  49120.
T-Shirt Information:During the 2008 - 2009 school year, every student was given an Eastside SOAR T-Shirt!  For this reason, we did not do a spirit shirt sale.  Anyone wishing to purchase Eastside Spirit-Wear may order individual items directly at Baker's Needle, located at 303 East Main Street in downtown Niles. 
*When writing out a check to the office or PTO, always include your child's name on the memo line at the bottom of the check.  Thanks for your help!
