T.A.P.T.O. stands for Tea Area Parent Teacher Organization.  TAPTO is a group of parents and teachers that work together toward a common goal:  “supporting and encouraging our students, families, and educators as they strive for academic excellence by building a sense of community through communication, cooperation, and commitment.”  We support and believe in the Tea Area School District’s Mission Statement:  “To educate and empower each student for success in a global society.”  We gather together to educate parents and raise funds for a variety of projects at the K-12 level.
