What is the PTO?
Timberline's Parent/Teacher Organization, or PTO, is the nonprofit group connecting families and school staff at Timberline Elementary in Centennial, Colorado.
We coordinate volunteer efforts to benefit our school and build strong bonds between teachers, school leadership, and families. We fundraise and use the money to support student learning through teacher grants, school improvement projects, and community events.
We are 100% volunteer-led and volunteer-run by people just like you.
Check out how you can get involved below!
Make sure you stay up-to-date!
Join the Timberline Elementary Community Facebook Group to hear about events, activities, fundraisers, and more!
Tell us if you'd like to get involved, email president@timberlinepto.org or anyone else on the PTO Leadership Team (see below).

Get Involved With Your Timberline PTO

☑️ Attend a General Meeting
The PTO has four public meetings a year, and as a grownup with a student at Timberline, you are already a member! Our PTO never charges membership fees or requires a signup to attend our general meetings. Please come as you are and come help us grow.
At general meetings, we make choices as a group about PTO's spending and planning priorities, approve budgets, vote for officers, hear reports from Timberline's administration, and more. Your attendance is important and needed!
Meetings occur on the 2nd Tuesday of September, December, March, and May each year. Meetings are held in-person at the Timberline school library at 6:30pm (with a virtual option available). Childcare is provided at every general meeting!
You can be involved even if you are unable to make it to the meetings or want to help before the next meeting. Contact president@timberlinepto.org if you want to get involved!
❤️ Teacher Appreciation
We LOVE our Timberline teachers and staff, and we have lots of ways to show it! Watch your email for sign-ups for specific slots to help with teacher and staff lunches, treats, events, and more.
🙋 PTO Leadership
Are you interested in getting involved in PTO leadership? We are interested in you!
The PTO Executive Board consists of one or two co-presidents, co-vice presidents, co-secretaries, and co-treasurers. The Board meets monthly and communicates regularly to make big-picture funding and planning decisions. Board members are elected annually at our general meeting in March, but if you are curious about participating, we would love to start a conversation and give you more information now!
We are also always looking for volunteers who want to take on additional responsibility as committee chairs. Chairs work directly with the Executive Board to plan and implement events and other exciting PTO programs.
If you would like more information about getting involved in PTO leadership, please reach out to any of us for more information!
