About SEMS PTO
San Elijo Middle School PTO is a community of parents, teachers, and neighbors united by one goal: supporting our students and staff. We work alongside SEMS administration to foster a positive school climate and provide supplemental resources that make a real difference on campus.
We achieve this through two annual fundraisers — Fund the Nest in the fall and Color the Nest in the spring — as well as a sponsorship program that connects local businesses with our school community. Every dollar raised goes directly toward enriching the student experience at San Elijo Middle School.
You're Already a Member
SEMS PTO does not charge membership fees. If you're a parent, guardian, or teacher at San Elijo Middle School, you're already a member of the PTO!
