Back to School Checklist

Be ready for a great year at Spring Hill Elementary, stay informed and get involved in our PTO community!  Here are the important links to get you started on the right paw.  

STEP 1 – Join the PTO & Stay Informed

We invite every family to be a part of the PTO. With your $20 annual dues, you’ll receive priority registration and discounts on after school programs and discounts on select PTO-sponsored events and programs. Visit our PTO Shop to register and pay your dues.

Social media and email are the PTO’s primary means of communication. Be sure to follow us on Facebook(@SpringHillPTO) and Instagram(@springhillelepto). The Spring Hill PTO Newsletter “The Scoop” is sent by MailChimp every Wednesday during the school year.

Sign up for PTO newsletter, The Scoop!


STEP 2 – Don’t Miss these Dates!


Tuesday, August 27th 6-8PM Back to School Night
Friday, September 13th 9-10AM First PTO Meeting
Friday, September 20th 5:30-7:30PM Block Party!


STEP 3 –  Donate to the Panther Fund

Where FCPS funding ends, Spring Hill families leap in! DONATE TODAY!

The Panther Fund is Spring Hill PTO’s direct donation fundraiser that allows our community to sponsor programs and make investments that enhance our children’s educational experience.  In the past, we’ve invested in items such as laptops for every student, leveled reading textbooks, and musical instruments. We also sponsor programs such as cultural arts presentations, field trips, and STEM programming. We purchased classroom furniture for grades 1-6 and will be raising money to purchase classroom furniture for all of Kindergarten. These are not funded by the county, but we believe they are important benefits for our children.

STEP 4 – Volunteer

Show your Panther Pride and share your time and talents with us.  In addition to playing a vital role in the programs and activities offered to our community, being part of the PTO is a wonderful way to meet other parents, get to know our school teachers and administration, and give back to our school.

CLICK HERE to find ways that you can volunteer with the PTO.

Did you know that in the last two years, we’ve donated over 600 pounds of unclaimed and unlabeled clothing from the lost and found? Don’t let your kids’ jackets and hoodies languish unclaimed – start the school year off right by purchasing and using Mabel’s Labels. If an item ends up in the Lost and Found and has a name on it, it will get back to your student without them having to do anything at all!

As a small bonus benefit, the PTO will get a small portion of the proceeds from all purchases. We’re listed as ‘Spring Hill Elementary School PTO (McLean)” on the site, so be sure to start shopping from the Support a Fundraiser menu option, or choose us when it asks for a fundraiser to support at checkout.
