The Quad PTO was created to aid in the mission of providing the best educational experience for our children at The Quadrilingual Academy! We understand how knowledge of multiple languages impacts brain development, cultural competency and, later on, job opportunities.

What is the Quad PTO? 

Made up of parent and teacher volunteers, the PTO is a non-profit organization that strives to enhance and support the educational experience of our polygot learners at the Quadrilingual Academy, foster our community of parents and educators, and improve the overall environment for learners through volunteer and financial support.

Currently recruiting for 2023-24 room parents. Every class can have 1 room parent assigned. This room parent is responsible for fostering engagement within each classroom and facilitating a relationship between the parents and room teacher. It’s a great opportunity to get to know other parents in your class and participate in school activities. Interested in becoming a room parent? Email us at info@thequadpto.com

PTO Fundraising Goal for 2022 – 2023

We would like to support the Quad Teachers and staff by contributing towards Accordion Doors for the bottom floor. These doors will create a flex space downstairs, which allow for multiple classes to occupy the area engaging with different activities at the same time! The estimated cost is $12k. Our goal is to raise $6k to support the school.

Thank You to The Quad Teachers and Staff!

On Valentine’s Day, the PTO sponsored Valentine’s gift boxes for all students. Thank you to all of the parents to donated items for the gift boxes, and those who helped stuff boxes to prepare for the big day!

Art in the Park

Mark your calendars for the return of the Art in the Park event, an outdoor experience for students to create, explore and experiment with different creative mediums in a mess-welcoming environment!

  • Set up in the Quad parking lot or playground area

  • 10 – 12 arts/craft stations staffed by 2 parent “artists” each

  • Students to visit during their regularly scheduled outdoor time and rotate by class

  • Creativity and expression will be widely encouraged (think sand layer bottles, splatter art, chalk, pet rocks, and so on…)

  • Great way for parents to support teachers as they enter their busy parent-teacher conference planning season

  • If you’re inspired and want to pitch a station theme or volunteer early, reach out to Kimya Singleton (kmcoker1@hotmail.com)

  • Stay tuned for more details and artist signups soon!
