• Hi Dragon Parents:

    Welcome to DeSana Middle School! As we enter another year at DeSana, we celebrate the traditions and values that make our school exceptional. Amid these extraordinary times, we know that the relationships among our amazing staff, parents, and students are vital. In the words of Mattie Stepanek, “Unity is strength. When there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved.” Our students and teachers need you to be part of the 2021-2022 PTO team.

    What is the PTO?

    The PTO is the Parent Teacher Organization and we exist to establish and maintain a working relationship among parents, the school, and the community.

    We enhance and support the educational programs and extracurricular activities of the school.

    We encourage parental involvement in educational and social experiences. Our grants help teachers and staff support and enhance the ways they teach the curriculum.

    Our fundraiser proceeds go directly toward supporting additional programs, equipment, supplies, and services that may not be covered in the school budget.

    We recruit volunteers to help with PTO and school functions and programs.

     

    How does the PTO Help my Middle School Student?

    Over the past years, the PTO has been fortunate to assist DeSana with a wide variety of projects.
