Bears PTO is the Parent Teacher Organization at Indian Hills Elementary school. Our purpose is to improve and expand on each student's school experience by creating an alliance between the teachers and parents/guardians.

​​​​

We do this by:

• Promoting open communication between teachers and parents. 

• Encourage students, parents and teacher participation at school functions. 

• Create a collaborative atmosphere where parents may share ideas, problems, and solutions regarding the school.​

​

You'll see the results of these efforts as soon as you arrive on campus. Thanks to the generosity of the Indian Hills community, PTO funds have paid for:

 

• Bulletin Bars/ boards throughout the school

• Library renovations including new tables, chairs, paint and decor

• Bus/transportation for each class annual field trip

• Oregon Battle of the Books tournament fees, books, and t-shirts

• Free family events like movie night, BINGO, and the fall dance

• Outdoor equipment including basketballs, bean bag toss, ladder toss, and spike ball

• Staff Appreciation Week

• 6th grade breakfast in June

• Additional supplies for licensed and classified staff members

• Umbrellas & vests for recess staff and crossing guards

• ERC grant and supplies including wobble chairs, games, headphones

• SLP books and supplies

• Storage Shed

• Reader board in front of school 

• Free spirit gear t-shirt to each student and staff member during the 2022-23, and 2023-24 school years
