Hampton Cove Christian Academy

Parent Teacher Organization

Get Involved in Your Child's Education! Managed by the parents of HCCA students, our Parent-Teacher-Organization (PTO) actively helps, assists, and organizes school-wide and/or classroom activities, bookfairs, charitable events and seasonal fundraising events. All PTO members are strongly encouraged to take an active role in their child's education, through their support of the PTO.

Parents may choose to participate in HCCA's PTO directly as Home Room Parents, elected officers or as volunteers or contribute to the overall efforts indirectly by generously giving of their financial resources through school fundraising events and Corporate Sponsorships.  And remember - 100% of the proceeds are directed by the PTO for enhancing school life in the classroom.

Of course, the PTO is not involved in school operations, they do not make any policy changes, nor are they required to assume liability for any of the administrative or legal functions of the school; however, the PTO does answer directly to the school's Principal. The Principal, who evaluates each request in light of the school's philosophy, policies, and goals, must assess and approve all functions, plans, activities, and programs undertaken by the PTO.

To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder, a witness of Christ's sufferings and one who also will share in the glory to be revealed...1 Peter 5:1
