Kipling PTO FAQs

What is fee day? 

Fee Day is the day the Kipling PTO website opens for the new school year! It's your one-stop shop to complete many of your back-to-school tasks, including:

  • Purchase your PTO Membership
  • Order your Yearbook
  • Purchase a Birthday Library Book
  • Order a Legacy T-Shirt (5th graders only)
  • Start ordering Special Lunch
  • Update your family information for the school directory
  • Make a donation to the PTO
  • And much more!

Completing these items on Fee Day helps ensure you're ready for the school year and don't miss out on important PTO programs and events.

 

 

You can also apply to be a room parent and volunteer to be on a PTO Committee.

 

Why should I buy a PTO membership?

A PTO membership gives your family access to the secure Kipling School Directory, making it easy to connect with other families for playdates, birthday parties, carpools, and more. It also ensures you'll receive PTO emails with important school events, volunteer opportunities, and updates throughout the year.

Your membership also allows you to:

  • Access the School Directory app on both parents' phones
  • Update your family's contact and student information anytime
  • Choose your directory privacy preferences
  • Stay connected with everything happening at Kipling

Only one PTO membership is needed per household. Keeping your information up to date helps other Kipling families stay connected with you throughout the school year.

  

*Make sure to download the Membership Toolkit App on your phone/smart device for easy access to our directory, calendar and other website info. Only people who have purchased a PTO membership will have access to the student directory.

 

Do I need to purchase a PTO Membership for each of my students?
No. One PTO Membership is for your entire family.

 

I already purchased an app registration key last year, do I need to do it each year?

Yes, you must become a member of the PTO each year to receive registration keys to activate your apps for the current school year.

 

Why do I need to make an account on the Kipling PTO website?

The Kipling PTO website is the only form of communication the PTO has with families. Therefore, it is very important that you update and complete the registration before the school year begins. You can update your profile, contact information, student information, and directory display preferences at any time. Please update your information as necessary, so the information is always current. 

 

I am new to Kipling, how do I download the app?
Download the app from the Google Play Store or iPhone App Store. Use the keyword “Membership Toolkit” for the app to appear in the results page. To activate the app, enter the primary account email address, Kipling PTO website password, and one of the two assigned registration keys. When the three items are entered correctly the app will be activated.

 

What is Special Lunch?
The Special Lunch program offers Kipling students with hot lunches for purchase from local area restaurants through our partnership with Marla's Lunch. A portion of the profits are given back to the Kipling PTO.

 

Where can I find information on the After School Enrichment (ASE) program?

This program is run through the Deerfield Park District.

 

Does the Kipling PTO offer "Before and After School Care"?

The Deerfield Park District is offering both before and after care at Kipling School.

   

What is Donate a Library Book?

It's a great way to commemorate your child’s birthday and support Kipling’s library. Make a donation and a special sticker will be placed inside a book cover honoring your student. On their birthday, your child will be first in line to check out their special book. All donated books will remain in our library for Kipling students to enjoy for years to come!
