President's Message

Hi CRS Families! 


On behalf of the entire Copper Ridge Parent Teacher Organization (CRPTO), I am happy to welcome you and your student(s) to our Copper Ridge community! My name is Nikki Forman and I am your PTO President.  

 

The fundamental purpose of CRPTO is twofold. First, we aim to connect the Copper Ridge community through communication, volunteers, and events to support our school. Second, we raise funds to support and enhance the educational experience of our students. We do this by supplementing the school and teachers with items and programs not funded by Scottsdale Unified School District. These supplements include Chromebooks for students, online academic programs, class aides, Math and Reading Specialists, campus safety and security, Middle School Honors programs, and so much more!

 

CRS, get ready for a year of the unexpected! Even with so many unknowns, we promise to do our best in keeping our community more connected than ever before! Our world has drastically changed, but we are adapting to these changes by providing new and fun events that allow for everyone to participate! We hope you will join us in our efforts to make this a year to remember for our students, staff, and community! Be on the lookout for announcements about our CRPTO events and ways you can get involved!

 

Please follow us on Instagram (@copperridgepto) and Facebook (Copper Ridge PTO) to stay connected and informed! If you ever have any questions, please visit us at www.crpto.com, and always feel free to email me: president@crpto.com!

 

Thank you to our amazing community for your continued support!

 

Sincerely,


Nikki Forman

CRPTO President

Education Support Fund (ESF)

Donate Today!

The ESF fund is a general fund built by the generous donations from CRS families.  It is used to pay for items that are not covered by SUSD. Each year we have been able to raise $60-75,000 with this initiative.  Among a variety of critical items, the fund pays for:

  • teacher’s aides
  • chromebooks
  • Accelerated Reader (AR) program
  • blue "Friday" folders
  • student agendas
  • academic specialists

If we have 75% participation from the whole school, then the students earn a NO UNIFORM DAY on September 29th- woohoo! Keep those donations coming :). We appreciate your support and all it does for our students!
