GOALS OF THE PTO
Topsfield Elementary School Parent/Teacher Organization (TESPTO) is an independent, non-profit organization comprised of parents, teachers and administrators. Our goal is to maintain quality education and seek new avenues for improving programs offered to the elementary school children of

Topsfield. TESPTO raises funds in numerous ways to be used for curriculum enrichment programs, school field trips, special equipment and services, and long range planning initiatives developed in conjunction with our membership and other community groups. TESPTO also provides seed money for fast track implementation of strategic initiatives beyond the scope of the elementary school budget.

TESPTO strives to bring the entire community together by sponsoring community events open to the general public; by participating in other community events; by disseminating information to the elementary school community and other interested parties and by being responsive to the requests for cooperation and assistance.

TESPTO funds are allocated based on the following Guiding Principles

• Supports school improvement plans developed by the site councils and principals.
• Supports additional enrichment initiatives.
• Affects immediately or seeds a program that eventually will affect a great percentage of the elementary school population. The goal would be to demonstrate a program’s success and prove its impact so it will be easier to be adapted and sustained by the school budget.
• Do not wish to support programs on an ongoing basis that should be funded by the school budget.
• Seeds innovative initiatives that may not affect a large number of the elementary school population, but that have the support of the school staffs and are unlikely to receive funding through traditional routes. * Does not exclude scholarship or teacher stipends.
