​​Catholic Archdiocesan elementary school may establish a Parent Teacher Organization Board and/or a Consultative School Board. Both boards are created to support the school/Principal and the school's viability: they have very different functions:

 
Parent Teacher Organization (PTO)
SPBS has a thriving and well-organized PTO. The primary functions of the SPBS Parent/Teacher Organization (PTO) are to help raise funds for the school's current operational expenses; promote parental support for school programs; coordinate volunteers, and oversee events/activities in collaboration with the Principal; and help increase mutual understanding between school and parents. The membership of the PTO includes the Pastor, the Principal, all parents or legal guardians, and the faculty of the school. The PTO Executive Board members are elected to the four SPBS PTO Executive Board positions by the SPBS parents annually as prescribed in the Board's Bylaws in addition to the PTO Committee Chairs which are appointed by the principal; they must have students currently enrolled in SPBS, during their entire term on the PTO Board.

Operation and structure of our PTO Board is governed by the regulations as found in the SPBS Parent Teacher Organization Bylaws, which are based on Department of Catholic Schools (DCS) Administrative Handbookguidelines.  Those Bylaws may be found in the PTO section of the school website.
