Welcome Note from Chantilly PTO President

Greetings Chantilly Montessori Families!

Welcome to a brand new school year at Chantilly Montessori! I'm Holly Baran. I'm honored to serve as your PTO President for the 2025-2026 school year.

For those who may be new to our community, the PTO is a group of parents, teachers and school staff who work together to support our students and school. Our mission is to build a strong school community by organizing events, raising funds, and providing resources that enhance the educational experience for all of our children.

Our success depends on the involvement of families like yours. Whether you have a few hours a month or just want to stay informed, there's a place for everyone in the PTO. We welcome your ideas, your talents, and most of all--your participation.

Thank you for being a vital part of our school family. I look forward to a great year ahead and hope to meet many of you soon!

Warmly,

Holly Baran

PTO President

About Our PTO

Goals

The Chantilly Montessori Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit volunteer-led organization that seeks to:

Build upon our school’s strong sense of community and work to ensure that all parents, guardians, staff members, and students feel included.
Communicate effectively with all members of our school community.
Serve as a liaison between families and school staff.
Encourage parent involvement within the PTO, which includes attendance at school events and participation in volunteer opportunities at our school.
Encourage staff engagement, with a focus on the “T” in PTO.
Fundraise to enhance our students’ educational environment and support our teachers’ classroom needs.

How will we achieve these goals?

We will :

Work to recruit PTO Leadership that represents our school community.
Communicate consistently through our PTO e-newsletter (the Montessori Messenger) and emails to classroom communities from room parents.
Announce school events well in advance so families can plan accordingly.
Offer a wide variety of volunteer opportunities to accommodate various interests and schedules.
Work collaboratively with all Chantilly staff members.
Plan and implement two primary fundraisers during each school year: Invest in Your Child (IYC) and the Parking Fundraiser.
Maintain the PTO Budget and offer transparency regarding how all funds are used.

Values Statement

Individuals involved with the Chantilly Montessori PTO will treat everyone in our school community respectfully, with a particular emphasis on: peaceful interactions, collaboration, and inclusivity.
