The Charlotte Central School Parent Teacher Organization (CCS PTO) supports the school community by providing the means to enrich the learning experience of faculty, staff, and students at CCS.
Mission
A mission of the CCS PTO is to “foster an environment where all families, regardless of their background, can actively participate, engage, and thrive in our school community. We believe that by embracing diversity, fostering equity, and promoting inclusion, we can support an educational experience that prepares our children for a more inclusive and just world. We recognize the importance of dismantling systems that perpetuate bias and privilege, fostering an environment where every child, family, and staff member feels valued and respected.”
The CCS PTO takes this mission seriously.
