NEFF PTO
Our Neff Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is an integral part of Neff Elementary. Our PTO funds field trips, school-wide assemblies, supplemental classroom needs, and fun family events such as Movie Nights, Bingo Night, Spring Fest, and more!
Our PTO is always looking for committee chairs and/or volunteers to help with PTO events. We truly appreciate volunteers who dedicate their time and effort into making our school welcoming and engaging for our students, staff and families!
Interested in volunteering in the classroom, at school events, and/or chaperone your child’s field trip?
STUDENT IPAD INSURANCE
We highly encourage parents to purchase the District’s accidental student iPad insurance for each of their students. This insurance covers accidental damage (e.g. your child accidentally dropping their iPad resulting in a cracked screen). Families will be billed accordingly for technology damage not covered by insurance or any technology not returned to school.
Student iPad insurance is $10 per student (free for students who qualify for free/reduced lunch), payment accepted through MySchoolBucks.

Medical excuses are required within 3 school days to excuse any absence due to medical appointments (this includes tardies and early dismissals).
Educational Trip Requests must be submitted at least 2 days prior to your trip and must include a brief educational reason. “Vacation” or “family trip” are not lawful reasons to be absent from school. Students are permitted up to 5 educational trip days per school year.
Students are permitted up to 10 parent-excused absences (including educational trips) per school year.
