Make Sure to Register for the PTO!

8/10/2026 2:10 pm

Don’t forget to register for the Prospect PTO for the 2026-2027 school year. The dues paid when registering for D181/Skyward for the next school year do not include Prospect PTO registration. This must be done through Membership Toolkit. If you haven’t done so, you may update your registration for the current school year by logging onto Membership toolkit or visiting the PTO website. Select “Our PTO” and “PTO Registration” from the drop-down menu. The list provided will walk you through the process.

Also, please check the Family Account page to ensure that your family info is up to date.
PTO membership allows your family to fully participate in the 2026-2027 school year such as purchasing raffle tickets for fundraisers, access to the directory, purchasing a yearbook, signing up for volunteer roles, and more! If you have questions on your registration, e mail webmaster@prospectschoolpto.org.
