Welcome back returning Miner Bear families, and welcome to our newest families!

The Miner Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is comprised of parents, guardians, teachers, and community members working to create opportunities for Miner students and families.  It supports parent initiatives and administrative goals through advocacy and fundraising. Every parent or guardian of a Miner student, and every teacher and staff member are automatically a PTO member. The PTO does not charge dues. The Miner PTO is a 501c(3) charitable organization.
