PCO Meeting

  • Pioneer Valley Montessori School 1524 Parker Street Springfield, MA, 01129 United States (map)

What is the PCO?

The concept is similar to a PTO – an organization of parents, teachers and school staff.  We changed the name to Parent Community Organization because it includes both the membership of our organization (the parent body: moms, dads, caregivers) as well as the group’s commitment to be inclusive of the entire school community.      

What does the PCO do?  

Our goal is to make our school a more rounded place to be.  We know the teachers and staff at PVMS do a great job educating our children.  But the fact that this is a small school means that our kids and families may not have the same social opportunities kids have at bigger schools.  

The PCO:

  • Creates and gives each child a free yearbook at the end of each year

  • Provides funds to help pay for field trips

  • Plans get-together times during school vacations (for different ages)  

  • Plans a “Movie Night” at the School

  • Puts together a Halloween party for all ages!

  • Fundraises to pay for all these activities. (We sell Mums, Coffee, Pizza, etc.)
