Ortega Elementary School PTO

Please respect the Reserved Parking spot in the front of our school.

This spot belongs to the Auction Winner ONLY and, as the posted signage states, is unavailable to the rest of the Ortega Community Monday-Friday 8am-4pm.  Please do not use this parking spot for "quick" drop-offs and pick-ups for school and/or TTT daycare.

Wear your Spirit Wear every Friday and show your Otter Pride, which may be purchased from the front office.  You can also order your Spirit Wear online and your order will be delivered to your child's back back at school.  Checks/cash should be made out to Ortega PTO and turned into the office.  

Per state law, all Ortega visitors must check in at the school office and obtain a Visitor’s Button.
