Dear Big Creek Families,
The PTO serves as a liaison between the Big Creek parents, students, teachers, and administration. We have a strong, goal oriented PTO and it is important for our children that we continue the great work our PTO has done. It is fundamental to our organization that we fill these positions with interested and dedicated parents who are committed to the well-being of our students, staff, and families. These officers serve for a two year term, starting immediately upon election. Please view the brief descriptions for the officer positions below.
PTO's Nominating Committee is pleased to announce the 2024-2025 Slate of BCES PTO Executive Officers. Elections for these positions will be held at PTO's General Membership Meeting on Thursday, April 25, 2024. Remember: every parent/guardian of a Big Creek Elementary student is a FREE member of our PTO! We hope you will all join our April 25 meeting to elect the new board, review the past school year, and look ahead to the upcoming year.

Thank you!
Your PTO Nominating Committee
