THE LANIER PTO CORNER
Please make plans to join us at our first PTO meeting of the year this Wednesday, September 22 at 9:00 AM. The meeting will be held virtually. To ensure we can answer as many questions from the community as possible, we ask that questions or concerns be raised via email prior to the meeting so we, along with administration, can provide you with timely information. Please send your questions to lanierptoweb@gmail.com prior to 5:00pm on Tuesday, September 21 and we will do our best to get to all of them. Mr. Wheat will provide a Principal’s Report at the meeting.

Click here to join us. We also plan to have two additional virtual meetings this Fall, November 17th and December 15th. 
 

Lanier PTO Dollars at Work
 
Did you know the PTO not only supports teachers and curriculum for our students to do their best learning, but we also support our students’ safety outside of the school? The PTO covers the costs of the constables who help direct traffic around the school. We are working together to make it safer for our children as they get dropped off, picked up and walk to school. Thank you for helping follow the traffic rules to protect our kids.
