Lincolnshire-Prairie View School District 103
Parent-Teacher Organization

The Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) of District 103 is a volunteer-based non-profit organization focused on:
  1. Promoting an environment in which every student has the opportunity to grow intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically.
  2. Promoting a close relationship between the home and the school, so that parents, guardians, teachers, school staff, and school administrators may cooperate in the education and enrichment of our students. 
  3. Stimulating community interest in and encouraging support for our schools through fundraising efforts. ​

THANK YOU TO OUR VOLUNTEERS 

This year we want to express our sincerest gratitude to our 125+ volunteers district wide.  While volunteering helps support the PTO's mission, it also benefits the volunteers themselves. People who volunteer develop new skills, build their personal and professional networks, forge a deeper connection with their communities and service organizations, and experience the joy of serving a larger cause. 
​Volunteer Awards
The D103 PTO is pleased to award two distinct awards each year: The Scott S. Guziec Volunteer of the Year Award and the Dawn Anderson Volunteer Angel Award.  Please review the requirements of each award on their respective pages and nominate a district volunteer that you believe is deserving of such an award.  We are so fortunate to have so many deserving volunteers.  The winners will be announced later in May.

"Two major studies from the 1990s and 2000s showed the positive effect parent involvement has on student achievement and other success factors. They were so influential that researchers today still reference them frequently. A more recent study—published in 2012 by researchers at North Carolina State University, Brigham Young University, and the University of California, Irvine—reinforced these earlier studies and found that family involvement has a greater effect on positive academic performance than does the quality of the school building. And it’s not just students who are positively affected; parents, teachers, and schools as a whole also experience benefits."
When parents are involved in their children’s education, those children are more likely to:
  • Earn better grades.
  • Score higher on tests.
  • Attend school regularly.
  • Have better social skills.
  • Show improved behavior.
  • Be more positive in their attitude toward school.
  • Complete homework assignments.
  • Graduate and continue their education.
Parents are more likely to:
  • Be more confident interacting at school.
  • Be more confident in their abilities to help their children learn.
  • Be held in higher esteem by teachers.
  • Continue their own education.
Schools are more likely to have:
  • Better morale among teachers.
  • Higher ratings of teachers by parents.
  • More support from families.
