About Us
As a charter school, MITCH relies on encouragement from parents, guardians, and family members. The PSO is an inclusive group that supports the educational programs and extra-curricular activities of MITCH Charter School. Our efforts focus on the following:
Fundraising: Funds raised support our school, teachers and students. The PSO board sets a budget each year and approves requests from the Director and Staff by majority vote. A small portion of our budget is used to pay for accounting, office, and insurance fees.
Volunteering: The PSO encourages active and positive engagement in our students’ education. Parent volunteers are vital to daily classroom operations; typically, classroom parents coordinate these volunteer needs. Volunteers are also necessary for school-wide operations, such as car line, lunch/recess duty and special events, such as our MITCH Marathon.
Community Building: MITCH has a small student population, but a strong sense of community. The PSO sponsors events that further the sense of community among MITCH families. We will publicize these events on our calendar.
