IVA Parent Teacher Organization
Connect with your community at IVA!
We value parent involvement at Intellectual Virtues Academy Middle School!
IVA's PTO was built for the unique needs of IVA and encourages all families to participate and become members. The purpose of the PTO is to enhance and support the educational experience at IVA Middle School, to develop a closer connection between school and home by encouraging parental involvement, and to improve the environment at IVA through volunteer and financial support.
To get involved, look for details and sign-up links in the weekly parent newsletter and on IVA PTO's social channels. Most needs can be completed in 90 minutes or less (yes, really!) and many more can be done from home.

Become a member – Make a difference!
Anyone can be a member: teachers, school administrators, students, parents, grandparents, siblings, aunts, uncles, friends, and even neighbors! You can also pay by cash or check and submit to the IVA Office.
We value parent involvement, in whatever capacity you can give! 100% of your PTO dues support and stay at IVA Middle School and are not passed through to local/state/national chapters.
