Parent-Teacher Organization

About Gateway PTO

We are non-profit volunteer group of Gateway CPS families and staff who work together to serve, support, and engage our school community. We raise our own funds through membership, donations, and fundraising events in order to invest back into the school community through staff appreciation events, student activities, faculty support, and anywhere we can help. The PTO consists of a volunteer board of section chairs and the general members. We reach out to our members first to fill volunteer needs as they arise.

Teacher Snack Cart

Donations by April 4th

You help show our teachers a little appreciation by donating items for the teacher snack carts. This initiative began with our principals wanting to deliver a little love to their teacher through snacks and drinks. Each section has it's own cart. You can drop off items at the Student Union anytime labeled "Snack Cart + (section). PTO will make sure it gets to the right section cart. Ideally we'd love to have all donations in by April 4th.

Senior Scholarship

Submissions Due April 30th

PTO awards 3 scholarships each year to seniors based on an essay submission. Each scholarship is $500. The essay for this year will be released April 1st and submissions need to be received no later than April 30th. Submissions will be voted on by an impartial committee and awarded during senior night. Our goal is to be able to offer a little support as our once young Gators head off to college. You can find the submission form below.
