What is a CandyGram? CandyGram's are a fun treat that your child can send and receive during the first two week's of December. Each CandyGram comes with a peppermint or cherry candy cane. Each Winstead student will receive one CandyGram from Winnie and Winston courtesy of the PTO! 

 

Who can you send a CandyGram to? Students to students, students to teachers/staff, staff/teacher to students, staff to staff, parents to students, etc. You can send one or to the entire class!

As a parent of a Winstead student, you are automatically a member of the PTO. There are no membership fees or dues.

 

Serving on the Winstead PTO Board requires a nomination and election, which takes place each spring. Board members are responsible for overseeing PTO business, voting on PTO matters, and helping guide the organization's efforts throughout the year.

 

All parents are encouraged to attend and participate at PTO meetings, volunteer for events, chair events, join committees, and share ideas. There are many ways to get involved, and we welcome all levels of participation!

 

We encourage all parents that want to be involved with the children (in the classroom, on field trips, etc.) to complete the background check that is required by Williamson County Schools. Follow this link to set an appointment and complete the application. Once approved, it is valid for five years.
