The ISLA PTO is a 100% volunteer led and run program made up of a group of parents, grandparents, guardians, teachers, and families of ISLA students. We come together to provide support for the students, teachers, staff and community as a whole.
As ISLA is a public charter school, all of our programs are dependent upon community/parent-involvement.
For the 25-26 school year, our fundraising target to match our operating budget is $160,000.
We raise funds and promote involvement in school activities through the following means:
- Providing annually budgeted and PTO-sponsored activities and additional programs and materials.
- Supplementing annual ISLA PTO budget for additional equipment, materials and activities.
- Evaluating requests for financial support for special activities, resources and supplies.
The ISLA PTO will strive to be a progressive organization regarding parent participation, fundraising, enrichment programs and services to encourage the educational experiences for all students.
Membership to the ISLA PTO is open to:
- Any parent, guardian, or grandparent with child(ren) attending ISLA interested in the Mission of the ISLA PTO
- Any ISLA staff interested in the Mission of the ISLA PTO
- Those willing to uphold its basic policies and subscribe to its bylaws.
There are no dues for membership, however all members are encouraged to contribute volunteer time and/or financial support as they are able at various times throughout the year. As a public charter school in Minnesota, we thrive through a combination of both state and community and family support.
We encourage community engagement through ISLA PTO meetings, volunteering, and attending ISLA PTO community events!
