The Minisink Valley Parent Teacher Organization, Inc. is actively involved in the programs and activities in the Minisink Valley Central School District. A strong partnership exists between the PTO, each of the school buildings and the district.

The PTO regrets that we will not be publishing a 2010-11 School Calendar.  Publishing a calendar takes a significant amount of time and money and we have be unsuccessful in finding a chairperson this year. If anyone if anyone is interested in putting out a calendar for 2011-12 school year, please contact Cindy Rodriguez at BobCindyNY@aol.com or 386-8616.

"Enriching every child's educational experience"

The purpose of this organization is to promote closer relations between home and school so that the administration, teachers and parents may cooperate in the overall development of the students of the Minisink Valley Central School District. This organization is non-commercial, non-sectarian and non-partisan.

Reading is fun and a great way to help prepare children for school.

Join the PTO at our Pre School Story Time - it's free, it's fun and it's good for your children!

At Story Time we read books, do crafts and projects, sing songs, have snack and interact with other parent and children.

Free Reading Program for Pre-schoolers

1000 Books is available at the same times and locations as Story Time - feel free to participate in either or both.  You are welcome to join any time - both programs are FREE to residents of the Minisink Valley School District.

The goal of this program is to get pre school age children the opportunity to read 1000 books before they enter school - a great way to get children interested in reading and help prepare them for school.
