The Wintergreen Interdistrict Magnet School Parent Teacher Organization (WIMS PTO) provides a forum for parents and teachers to work together to improve and sustain the educational opportunities available at WIMS. The PTO promotes understanding and cooperation between parents, children and school through an exchange of ideas. The PTO fosters a greater WIMS community among students, families, and the school through the sponsorship of events and activities.
The WIMS PTO raises money to supplement the students’ learning with cultural enrichment, field trips, additional classroom materials, volunteers and more. The fundraisers have been scheduled throughout the year, taking care not to overlap.
The General PTO meetings are held on a regular basis. A number of meetings are designated as Speaker Meetings with a presentation by an outside speaker on a subject of interest to parents and families.
The PTO Leadership Committee manages the business and affairs of the organization. The group is made up of 11 members, including the President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer. An additional representative from each of the participating communities, Hamden, New Haven, Wallingford and Woodbridge, and 3 appointed representatives from the school are members of the Leadership Committee. The Leadership Committee meets monthly preceding the PTO Meeting and other times as required.
