The Palisades Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is a volunteer-led group of parents and caregivers that works as an extension of the school’s mission and vision. We work alongside school staff to nurture a diverse community of learners by supporting strong academic instruction, cultural experiences, and multilingual learning.

In alignment with Palisades’ values, the PTO:

Builds community among families, staff, and students.
Organizes events and programs that celebrate our community.
Helps create meaningful opportunities for students to grow as global citizens.
Represents Palisades in the broader community through outreach, partnerships, and events.
Mobilizes a volunteer network to support classrooms, activities, and schoolwide events.

Here are some examples of our past efforts to enhance the educational experiences of students:
