Gibbs and Ottoson Parent Teacher Organization (GO PTO)

The Gibbs and Ottoson Parent Teacher Organization (GO PTO) supports Arlington's two public middle schools and works to foster a welcoming environment and sense of community between parents, teachers, staff, and students. 

Our activities include developing fundraising strategies to support teachers, organizing informational meetings for parents, sharing details about current activities in our weekly e-newsletter,  and supporting enrichment activities.

GO PTO needs your support and welcomes your ideas. Your time and expertise are valued at whatever level you can provide, and we pride ourselves on not asking volunteers or board members to do more than they signed up for. If you would like to get involved in GO PTO in any way or connect with our current officers,  you can either attend our meetings  or email us at hello@gibbsottosonpto.org.
