About the PFO

A community of parents, teachers and neighbors.

The Parent-Faculty Organization at Kaiser Woodland Elementary is a 501(c)(3) volunteer group of caregivers and educators working side by side to enrich every child's school experience.

History
Our story

Two schools, one family.

Kaiser Elementary and Woodland Elementary merged in 2014 to form Kaiser Woodland Elementary. Their two PTOs merged with them — combining decades of tradition, fundraising experience and parent leadership.

Today the PFO supports more than 1,200 students across grades K-5, with hundreds of family volunteers contributing time and talent every year.

What we believe

Three principles guide every decision we make as an organization.

01

Every child belongs.

Programs, events and resources are designed to include every family — regardless of background or means.

02

Teachers matter.

We invest in classroom supplies, professional development and the small touches that make great teachers feel valued.

03

Community first.

We build traditions, friendships and memories that last well beyond the school year.
