What are the different Morse PTO fees that I see on ParentVue during registration?
All Morse PTO fees are optional, but they help to make Morse amazing. Each of our fees supports a different function of the Morse PTO. For example, Take Stock in Morse only funds teacher grants for resources, educational materials, programming, and technology. Read more about the different fees here.
