Parent Teacher Organization (PTO)

Parent and family involvement is a proud tradition at Fernwood Montessori School, and we invite you to join our Parent Teacher Organization (PTO).

Membership is an easy and effective way to positively impact our school’s culture and climate.

This creative and active family organization meets the first Tuesday of each month, 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the school library to discuss, plan, and implement programs and special events. To learn more about PTO participation, please contact our parent coordinator, Kari Hanson at hansonks@milwaukee.k12.wi.us or 2025-26 PTO President, Andrew Adair at andrewtadair@gmail.com.
