Q: I have a group that is not a Parent Group. Can we use Digital PTO?

A: At this time we are only allowing School Parent Group’s (PTA’s, PTO’s, PTT’s, PTG’s) to join Digital PTO. We have plans to expand the service in the future. If you would like to see Digital PTO expand into another field, please let us know!

Q: What kind of Training do you offer new users?

A: We have developed a unique combination of pre-populated content and a concise and easy Quick Start Guide to get new PTA’s and PTO’s completely set up with their websites in about 30 minutes. It takes about 60 seconds to sign up for a website and once you have some time to spare you can take 30 minutes and complete the Quick Start Guide. The guide will get your PTA or PTO website completely set up and ready and train you at the same time. If you would like to preview the Quick Start Guide, it can be found here: quickstart.digitalpto.com

Q: My School District offers website space to our group. Why should we use Digital PTO?

A: The websites that school districts sometimes provide for PTO’s and PTA’s are extremely outdated technology for the most part and typically are not very effective. We have seen traffic increase by up to 1000% on PTA websites that have switched from “free district websites” to Digital PTO websites.

In addition to antiquated technology, Digital PTO supports your website, keeps it up to date and secure and provides you with tools that no other service (free or paid!) can offer. Digital PTO websites are technologically  advanced in every way and are far superior to any other free service offered by state or county level school districts.
