Welcome Back! 

Dear Middle School Families, 

Welcome back to a new school year! Hopefully you had a wonderful summer and are ready for an exciting school year ahead. 

Middle School is a big change for many of our students and this school year our goal is to create an environment where we embrace the whole family. We want to create fun, enticing (we all know how hard it is to get our middle schoolers excited about school events), and inclusive events and initiatives for our students, families, and staff. We are championing this philosophy with our theme for this year – PTO is Poppin’. 

And we want YOU to be a part of that. If you have a child at Shaker Heights Middle School, you are automatically a valued member of our PTO. There are no fees or dues, and we welcome your involvement throughout the year through attendance and volunteering at our events throughout the year. 

We are looking forward to the new community we will create this year!  

Sincerely, 

Your 2024-25 PTO Presidents

Trina Jones & Shenita Siggers
