ECS PTO Request for Funds –or- Item Request
Request Procedures
The purpose of our PTO is, in part, to provide financial support where needs are recognized. We recognize our teacher’s efforts in the classroom and support those endeavors for which funds are not otherwise available through regular school budgeting. This money is available because of the PTO’s continued commitment to fundraising. Each year we will set aside a special amount in our PTO Budget for teacher needs and we hope to always be able to accommodate your requests.
Our PTO sets aside a yearly budget for events and projects throughout the year. If you are requesting money for one of these events or projects, please fill this form out as well, in order to be sure the money is being properly accounted for in our overall budget. If you have any questions or concerns with timeframe, please contact treasurer@echocanyonpto.com |

Request Procedures
No request is a silly request! We are here to work together with each of you. Funding may be granted for special equipment, software, books, games, small furniture, and much more. And because we recognize the many creative ways our teachers strive to inspire our students, we would also like to give support for extras on field trips and special projects. PTO funding may not always be available, however, for regular classroom instruction, textbooks, or other projects/purchases that fall under the School District’s responsibility. This is a wonderful opportunity for the PTO to address current teacher and student needs that might otherwise be put aside due to lack of funds.
For the upcoming school year, teacher/staff requests will be considered at all monthly meetings through May 2017. Time will be set-aside on the agenda to discuss any requests. We strongly encourage you to be present to offer any additional information and also to answer any questions that arise. If there are any questions concerning a request and you are not present, it will be tabled for another month
PLEASE NOTE: Your efforts to help with our fundraising are important, and we need your support! We truly appreciate all of the staff and family participation in all of our fundraisers and events. Thank you!
- Request forms must be submitted to the PTO at least one week prior to the scheduled meeting, enabling them to be included on the agenda that is posted in advance of all meetings. There is a form on the back of this sheet and extras can be found in the staff mailroom in our PTO President mailbox in a folder labeled PTO FORMS.
- Discuss the request with Mrs. Hughes to see if school funding is available.
- Research resources. Attach a copy of the best price you have found, be it from a catalogue or website. Note: Include shipping and handling.
- Place the form and any attachments in the PTO President mailbox.
