The main purpose of the Parent Teacher Organization is to "open the lines of communication between the community and the elementary school system in Westbrook."  The PTO is governed by the Executive Committee consisting of the President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Cultural Arts Coordinator, Membership Chairman, Elementary School Principal, and chairman of standing committees.  The PTO has a business meeting four times a year.  Programs are also scheduled for these meetings to help parents better understand the curriculum and services offered by the school and to sponsor interesting speakers on child development and parenting issues.  Each month, the PTO sends out a newsletter with special announcements.   Many parents give generously of their time and energy.  The PTO asks that you try to help out at least once or twice a year if not on a regular basis.  Every family is invited to join.  Membership forms are sent home at the beginning of the year.  Members receive a student directory.
