Parents and guardians volunteer hundreds of hours to Payton each year in dozens of ways. Every parent and guardian has a skill we can use – if you can fold a piece of paper or unload water bottles onto a table, you can help! In addition to serving short shifts at school events, volunteers are needed to help with a variety of fundraising tasks and to fill ongoing roles like making sure the website is up to date.  Learn more on the VOLUNTEER page.

FOP does extensive fundraising every year to supplement the school's official CPS budget.  These funds support professional development activities that help our faculty and staff remain leaders in their fields, continual technology innovation for staff and students, and scholarship support so that all of our students can participate in travel, athletic, and other opportunities.  Visit the DONATE page and GALA page for more information.

The Fundraising Team meets after the Payton Community Meeting each month and can be reached at FOPFundraising@gmail.com.  We would love to hear your ideas and suggestions!
