Questions
Everything families ask about our PTO fundraisers.
Does my child have to raise money to participate?+
Every PTO event that takes place during school hours is at no cost to the student. We do however have other fundraising opportunities like photo sessions that do require a fee -those are always optional. Some events after hours will have a ticket or entry price, but reduced or free entry is available to those who need assistance. Please contact the office for reduced rate details for specific events.
Can out-of-town relatives donate?+
Yes — that's the point of the online donation page. Share the link and anyone in the country can give.
Where does the money go?+
The Cavett Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) board approves the budget publicly. Funds cover school field trips, new playground equipment, classroom supplies, and technology.
Is my donation tax-deductible?+
Yes. The Cavett Elementary PTO is a nonprofit organization, and your donation is tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. You'll receive an emailed receipt with the PTO's nonprofit details right after your donation.
How often does the PTO fundraise?+
While there are always options to donate, we typically do one big request at the beginning of the year. If we have unexpected expenses or don't reach our goal for the year, there may be other requests and goals throughout each school year. The current campaign is always what you will see on the homepage.
How can I volunteer?+
The PTO needs help with events, setup crews, and teacher meals. Reach out one the 4 public PTO meeting, email ptocavett@gmail.com, or through the school office.
