No! Every Rancho family is automatically part of our PTO community and is welcome to attend events, volunteer, or simply stay informed.

Absolutely not. Some families volunteer often, some help once a year, and others participate by attending events. Every level of involvement matters.

Visit our Get Involved page or watch for volunteer sign-ups throughout the year. Opportunities range from helping at events to supporting teachers behind the scenes.

Yes! We love having grandparents and family members help. All volunteers must follow Rancho Solano’s volunteer requirements.

Funds raised by PTO support student experiences, teacher appreciation, community-building events, school traditions, and other programs that enrich campus life.

The best ways are: - PTO emails - This website - Social media - School newsletters

Absolutely! Many volunteer opportunities happen outside school hours or can be done from home. We appreciate every contribution, big or small.

Most PTO events are open to all Rancho Solano families. Event details and any age or grade restrictions will always be listed ahead of time.

Visit our Contact Us page or email us anytime. We’re always happy to answer questions or help connect you with the right person.

Watch for interest forms each spring. We’d love to have you involved! PTO is always looking for parents who want to help strengthen our Rancho community.

YES! In fact, PTO is one of the best ways to meet other parents, learn about the school, and feel connected to the Rancho community. We love welcoming new families.

Our goal is to simplify fundraising by making one annual ask of $250 per child rather than multiple fundraisers throughout the year. Your donation helps PTO provide: ✨ Memorable student experiences ✨ Teacher and staff appreciation ✨ Family events and traditions ✨ Campus enhancements ✨ Programs that benefit our entire school community. Participation is voluntary, and we are grateful for every family’s support.

That would be our amazing Rancho Student Government! They dream up and organize every one of our spirit dress-up weeks, and we absolutely love seeing our young leaders bring their creativity, enthusiasm, and school spirit to life. Thank you, StuGo, for making these weeks so much fun for our entire community!

With the shift to Grade Leads, we found that email is the most effective and inclusive way to communicate important information to all families. While parents are always welcome to create their own class text groups, PTO officials will not manage or lead them. All official PTO and Grade Lead communications will happen via email to ensure everyone receives the same information at the same time. This approach keeps communication organized, transparent, and focused on supporting our students and teachers.
