Room Parents Now Called Classroom Connectors
Classroom Connectors help the teacher get news out to families, help find volunteers, and help request donations for the classroom, including extra snacks. If you are interested in being a family member who helps support your student’s classroom teacher, please email Kristen – or if email is hard, TEXT at 617.388.8339.
Thank You!

Cambridgeport PTO (CPTO)
CPTO Meeting: TBA
The Cambridgeport PTO (CPTO) aims to help build community and equity in the school experience. We do this by facilitating fun community-building events and initiatives. And by providing a wide variety of extra support for families, students, teachers, and staff.
But it takes volunteers to help make these great things happen! There are lots of reasons to volunteer! Such as....
-- Meet other parents and caregivers!
-- Work together to help make the school experience even better for everyone!
-- Provide fresh new ideas and your unique perspectives!
We welcome everyone to attend and learn all about what the CPTO does.
If you're new to the school, this is a great way to learn more about the CPTO and Cambridgeport. If you have been at Cambridgeport for years but haven't been a part of the CPTO, you may be surprised to learn about all of the things we do that you never knew!
We hold meetings monthly and welcome input at any meeting or just email us with thoughts/questions.
