Clear Sky Elementary PTO

2023-2024 Nominations & Elections

I want Clear Sky Elementary to be one of the best schools in Colorado.
  • I want my child to have a great school year — to learn and to have fun!
  • I want to help decide how PTO fundraising moneys are spent.
  • I want all the students at Clear Sky Elementary to be successful.

If the above statements are true, then help us help the school! Parent involvement is critical for a successful school, so volunteer as a PTO board member or a committee chair for 2023-2024. There are jobs that take no more than a couple hours a month, some that are seasonal, and a few that require a routine commitment.

Dedicated teachers, staff, and PARENTS help make Clear Sky Elementary a great school! Join us – it’s rewarding, it’s important, and it’s even fun!
