Welcome to the Longfellow Middle School PTO
LONGFELLOW PTO
2017-18 SCHOOL YEAR
Welcome!!
The Longfellow PTO would like to welcome all new and returning families to the 2017-18 school year. We hope you had a relaxing summer and are ready for another exciting school year. We invite you to join our team this year as we explore new ways to aid our children through their challenging school years. Our meetings are open to everyone. If you have a student at Longfellow, you are a member of the PTO. There are no membership dues or fees. Everyone is welcome to join us at any of our upcoming meetings that begin in September. All meetings are held in the LMC at Longfellow.
We met families at orientation in the spring and we started collecting your email addresses for the PTO email list. If you missed the sign-up, you can email the PTO address below or contact Kathy Heiderscheit at 608-448-5234 and we will add you to the list. This is another way to stay in touch with Longfellow PTO.
