Ankeney PTO
Welcome
The Ankeney Middle School PTO has been established to promote the welfare, educational, vocational, and character development of students who attend Ankeney Middle School and to develop and maintain a forum for parents, teachers and citizens within the community interested in the advancement of those purposes. The PTO shall not attempt to direct the administration or policies and activities of the School.
In attempt to reduce paper communications, we will plan to post all relevant forms and information on this website for this school year. We also have a Facebook group where we will post timely information and respond to questions. You may request access to that group by visiting Ankeney Middle School PTO. You will be prompted to answer a few questions to ensure we limit access to this group to Ankeney parents/guardians and staff.

Community and Product Rewards
Volunteer
Our PTO could not function without a small army of volunteers and we need your help! Please fill out this volunteer form to tell us your availability and areas of interest. You will then be contacted by a committee chairperson or our volunteer coordinator with more information as events draw near. We also post a Sign-up Genius for specific volunteer opportunities on our Facebook page (Ankeney Middle School PTO) so please so check there too!
Donate
In the past we have asked families for donations of time and food to support the students and staff throughout the year. As we all know this year is unique and our ability to have extra people in the building is limited. The best way you can help the PTO this year is with a monetary donation so that the PTO can purchase items needed to appreciate the staff and support students. Donations can be made through your PayPal via "Friends and Family" to ankeneypto@gmail.com. Thanks in advance for your generosity and understanding!
