The Parent Organizations of Essex Westford School District (EWSD) are dedicated to encouraging parent, community, educational staff, and public involvement in our schools.

As a combined school district made up of three different municipalities, you’ll find that PTOs/Parent Organizations at each school may work a little differently.

• A combined PTO Board, called the Essex Town PTO, oversees three schools including Essex Elementary, Founders Memorial and Essex Middle School.

• Other PTOs represent one school.

  • Hiawatha PTO

  • Summit Street Partners in Education (PIE)

  • Fleming PTO

  • Westford PTO

• Some schools, including ADL and EHS, don't have a PTO, but do have opportunities for parents to connect with the school.

  • ADL's PAWS (Positive Adults Working to Support Students) on Facebook

  • EHS Boosters

EWSD welcomes any caregivers and friends to get involved. Other options outside of PTOs that help our district: 

• Attend School Board meetings, and run for office

• Read about how you can help out, and fill out a Volunteer Form to get on the list

• Participate with a nutrition community group launched in 2018 by Child Nutrition Services. Email Scott

• Consider becoming an EWSD bus driver or bus aide! Visit our Employment section, or send an email to our Transportation Department!
