Parent Teacher Organization (PTO)

 BSM Tigers PTO

At Brentwood Science Magnet Elementary School, we have a dynamic and innovative group of parents and caregivers who are dedicated to building a strong school community with our hardworking school staff and loving parents/caregivers in order to provide services and programs in support of our students.

Our VISION
Coming together for excellence, enrichment, and enjoyment for everyone connected to our school.
Our MISSION
The mission of BSM Tigers PTO is to establish a foundation for growth within our parent, student, and teacher community to encourage parent involvement, enrich the school experience, and provide both volunteer and financial support as needed. 
 
 
PTO Dues are required to be considered a member. Dues are $20.00 and (1) gives you a vote during officer elections; (2) help fund enrichment programs, campus events and support teachers; and (3) establish a school community support fund.
No pressure - just purpose.

PARENT SHOUT OUT:
 
Matt Emery and Kimberly Hafey became a great support to our school from the moment their little one started kindergarten this 2024-25 school year! You can find them volunteering all around campus, assisting new families, welcoming our students in the morning, and advocating for BSM around the community.
Mr. Emery and Ms. Hafey also own a local business, Emery Academy of Martial Arts; where Mr. Emery teaches his students more than karate moves, he connects lessons of kindness, peace, and harmony to each class meeting! If your youngster is looking for an after school activity this one is the one to check out today!!
