Mark your calendars for Wednesday, September 30 and join us at Oak & Iron for an evening of fun, conversation, and community!

More details will be shared soon. We hope to see you there!

Collecting Classroom Contributions (Class Parties, Teacher Gifts)

Classroom contributions are completely separate from Bancroft Bucks and go directly towards each classroom, supporting things like classroom parties and teacher gifts. We apologize that we are asking for contributions at the same time of year as Bancroft Bucks, but we need the funds at the beginning of the year so that we can have them in advance of upcoming festivities, like Halloween parties and holiday gifts for teachers/Instructional Assistants (IAs). This year, we’re recommending each...

Want to be a Room Parent?

Two parents per classroom will be in charge of communication with the teacher and coordinating classroom parties, teacher gifts, and other classroom needs. Please note that you do not need to be a room parent to volunteer in your child's classroom. Room parent selection is at the discretion of Bancroft's staff and administration. The PTO supports the process by creating the signup form and delivering volunteer names directly to the school. The school then selects and notifies the room parents...

Check out the Classroom Locator Here!

We would love your help in making classroom connections easier for everyone. Class assignments are anticipated to be released on Friday, August 14 (sign into Aspen for more information). Please take a moment to add your child to their assigned classroom on this signup. Check back often to see which students will be in the same room this year. Get excited! This is a great way for families to see who their child’s classmates will be before the first day of school, helping everyone start the year...

Bancroft Bucks is Back!

Bancroft Bucks is the largest PTO fundraiser to support and enrich our school academics and environment. Funds raised through Bancroft Bucks provide 50%+ of the PTO budget that supports student activities throughout the year, including field trips, student enrichment events, teacher and staff discretionary funds, and more. We need everyone's help to make Bancroft Bucks a success! Bancroft Bucks packages will be sent home with children the first week of school and are due back no later than...

Kindergarten Summer Playdates

The PTO hosts Kindergarten Play Dates throughout the summer so kids can get to know one another before the start of the school year, and the first one is next week (7/27)! Play on the Bancroft playground, meet other parents, ask questions about the school, and enjoy a popsicle. At the final playdate in late August, the PTO provides color-coded name tags based on each child's assigned classroom, making it easy for students to find and meet their future classmates. Signup here so we know who...

Your CORI Needs to Be Completed EVERY School Year!

Andover Public Schools require a new Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) check every year for anyone who volunteers at a school or school event (i.e. field trip chaperones, volunteers for class parties, library duty, etc.). If you would like to volunteer during the 2025-2026 school year, please fill out the APS CORI check form and return it in person to a school administrator with an original government issued ID. Blank forms are also available at the front office. It can take 2-3...

PTO Volunteer Cancellation Policy

We couldn't accomplish a fraction of what we do without the amazing support of our families and the volunteers who help make each and every event a success. We understand that life is unpredictable and sometimes our volunteers have to cancel at the last minute. But we ask that if you have to cancel within 48 hours of a scheduled event, including library volunteers, please reach out to us directly at communications@bancroftpto.org and let us know. Please don't just delete the signup entry, as...
