The first step to building a relationship with Lab is to become involved. Parent, student, staff, and community involvement plays a vital role in the success of our school. All of our PTSO members and leaders are committed volunteers. Whether you commit a little or a lot, every contribution counts!

HOW DO I GET INVOLVED?
As a PTSO, we work to benefit all Charlotte Lab staff and students. Our goal is to unite parents, teachers, and volunteers for the purpose of enriching the educational experience of all children at Charlotte Lab
PTSO GENERAL ASSEMBLY MEETINGS
General Assembly meetings are held once per quarter, and all PTSO members, parents, guardians, involved family members, teachers, and staff are encouraged to attend! These meetings are a great opportunity to stay informed, connect with other families, and contribute your voice to important decisions about events, fundraising, and how we support our students and staff.
We’ll be offering a mix of in-person and virtual meetings this year to make it easier for everyone to stay involved. Our first General Assembly meeting will be held in person on August 21st, during Set Up Our Space Night. Upcoming meeting dates and details will be shared in the PTSO newsletter and posted on the school calendar. For virtual meetings, a registration link will be provided in the newsletter 1–2 weeks prior.
Whether you’re curious about what we do or ready to dive in and get involved, your presence makes a difference. We’d love to see you there!
