The Walnut Grove PTO is a parent / teacher organization, whose mission is to promote the safety and welfare of Walnut Grove students, to work toward better communication and greater understanding between school and home, and to improve the quality of education for all students. 

All parents and legal guardians of Walnut Grove students are strongly encouraged to participate in and volunteer for PTO events throughout the year. The success of Walnut Grove and the PTO can be seen in the cooperation between teachers and parents as we work together for the best interest of our children and our school.
