Blue Ash PTO

Welcome Blue Ash Families!

The Blue Ash Elementary PTO is composed of parents, guardians, teachers, and staff. Membership is open to anyone looking to improve our school environment and student experience.

Members gain access to Directoryspot, our online student directory app, with details emailed this fall.

The PTO provides essential classroom materials, including flexible seating, books, science equipment, musical instruments, technology, special education materials, and academic tools. We fund school-wide assemblies from The Children’s Theatre and the Cincinnati Zoo, offer financial assistance for field trips, and support the school garden for science and STEAM classes. Additionally, we sponsor an author visit every third year and fund the 'Active Aves' recess running program. Our PTO also assists with the mentoring program for at-risk students and contributes to Sycamore Bridges and Operation Give Back, supporting community families in need.

By becoming a member, you support student programs and activities, technology advancements, staff appreciation, and more throughout the year. Plus, you have the ability to vote on PTO decisions.

Donations

There are several ways you can help support Blue Ash Elementary through things you do on a regular basis, such as shopping at Kroger, or eating out during one of our restaurant nights. Please encourage your family, friends and neighbors to help in our fundraising opportunities. These funds help our PTO offset costs of our Family Dance, Donuts with Grownups, field trips, staff grants, staff appreciation activities, technology costs, and other events that directly benefit our children, families, and school.
