Keystone’s Parent Teacher Organization, in partnership with our teachers and staff, provides an opportunity for parents to play a unique and vital role in the educational experience of our students. All Keystone School parents and guardians are members of the PTO, and we encourage your participation in this impactful aspect of the KS community.
With your help, the PTO will achieve its mission to support Keystone School in accomplishing its own mission and to foster effective and open communication between the school and parents. Additionally, the PTO works with the school to enhance the educational and recreational opportunities for students, parents, and staff, while seeking to promote and foster a strong sense of community and facilitate involvement throughout our community.
Volunteering to serve on the PTO Counsel or serving as a parent volunteer is an important way to impact your child’s education and experience, learn more about Keystone, and meet fellow parents. Our cadre of parent volunteers is fundamental to Keystone. Contact your division rep or email pto@keystoneschool.org for more information about how you can help your children through PTO.
Dear Little School of Keystone Parents,
Welcome to The Little School! As a Little School of Keystone parent, you are a member of the Parent Group. Even better, there are no dues! Throughout the year, we will organize social gatherings for Little School parents and families, as well as plan Staff Appreciation activities for the wonderful teaching and support staff.
Volunteer Opportunities
You can find the different opportunities by clicking the SignUp Genius link to select the item(s) that best fit your schedule, talents, and interests.
Room Parents
Throughout the year parents volunteer to help their classroom with special events, parties, holidays, and staff appreciation. Room Parents help to make these events successful by communicating and coordinating with the rest of the families. It’s a team effort and there are usually three Room Parents per class. If you are interested in serving as a room parent, please reach out to your Little School PTO Representative.
Sincerely,
Aryah Somers Landsberger: amsomers8@gmail.com

Welcome Lower School Parents!
We at Keystone feel that it is important to stay connected as a community and not only support our children during their early years of development, but also provide a certain level of appreciation for our faculty. In order to accomplish this sense of acknowledgment each grade level has a Parent Head who volunteers their time to organize teacher appreciation gestures which is organized on Sign Up Genius or some kind of platform where parents can choose what they wish to participate in (i.e., teacher lunch, gift basket of goodies, gift card…)
The Keystone community is spread all throughout the city, so we feel it is important to host out of school activities where the kids can spend more time together and parents can connect. Your Parent Head is responsible for organizing those events and communicating it out to you. Since each grade level only consists of a small number of parents, it makes it easy for us to stay connected using some kind of correspondence like WHATSAPP or SLACK. When it comes to homework clarification, illness, questions, concerns, offering support or just looking for some feedback, this is a great outlet for parents to use. Above all else we pride ourselves in keeping our community safe and healthy, so all organized events take into consideration the current health climate before scheduling any activities.
For any questions regarding your grade level, please reach out to the following Parent Heads:
