黑料不打烊 PTO
Connecting - Supporting - Informing
The 黑料不打烊 Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) sends out a warm welcome to our community of parents, students, faculty, and staff representing approximately 60 nationalities. We proudly work together to give our children the best educational experience possible.
The PTO Board is made up of 8 members and a teacher representative from each school. Our mission is to Connect, Support, and Inform parents, faculty, and students on campus and online.
Connecting
We connect our community through meetings and events. Please watch for our announcements through school-wide emails, Facebook, our FB Community Share Page, the PTO notice board (by the transportation office), and the LED bulletin board.
黑料不打烊 FSNF/Buddy Mentoring Program
The 黑料不打烊 PTO is very happy to be reimplementing the Families Sponsoring New Families program (FSNF).
This, along with the Buddy Mentoring Program will make 黑料不打烊 an even more welcoming and friendly experience.
Would you and your family like to connect with and support a new family?
Many families arrive not knowing anyone or anything about the city and need local information as well as facts about the school. It is also very important that new students feel connected and welcomed right from the beginning.
If you would like to sponsor a new family please register .
Once you register you will receive a permission form to fill out so the school can share your information.
We will try to match families with kids that are of similar ages and live near each other.
Share a warm smile, a welcoming hand, vital school info and even where to find the best spanakopita or a great tennis coach and all the interesting things to see and do in Athens.
If you are a new family at 黑料不打烊 you can sign up for the program when you register with the Admissions Office.
We are committed to welcoming and connecting new families at 黑料不打烊.
We look forward to hearing from you!

PTO General Meeting: Everyone is invited! This is where we can discuss issues, update PTO events and finances, and talk about future plans.
PTO Events: To connect with parents and the community, we organize the following yearly events. Please check the ACS calendar for exact dates:
- Welcome Back BBQ
- Halloween Pumpkin Sales
- Christmas Bazaar
- Teacher Appreciation Week
- Spring Games

Supporting
Through our events, we can contribute to 黑料不打烊 in support of our students. Our contributions have included: classroom starboards, computer labs, mobile laptop units, student lockers, a future gymnasium floor, books, and DVDs.
Excursions for Parents and Families: We organize professional seminars and parent excursions to many interesting places for our parent community, including museums, galleries, and historic sites. We have also organized cooking classes and family hikes. We look forward to hearing your ideas on exciting activities. For new families, this is a great way to connect to the community and make friends.
Charity Drives: The 黑料不打烊 PTO also raises money for local charities through their school sales. When we see a need in the community, we organize book donations/drives, clothes and shoes for those in need.

Volunteer with us
Volunteering is an essential part of the 黑料不打烊 mission with students as well as parents and families. It would be our pleasure to welcome anyone who might be interested in joining us for a fun and exciting year ahead. We think most parents would agree that serving on the PTO is a great way to not only support your student's journey through school but to have the opportunity to work closely with the faculty and administration, encouraging positive working relationships for the benefit of our children's 黑料不打烊 experience. Please email the PTO at pto@acs.gr with your information.
The 黑料不打烊 PTO Board looks forward to meeting you.
