Welcome to Cerritos PTO
Welcome! The Cerritos Elementary Parent Teacher Organization is a group that joins parents and teachers together to address the learning needs of our children to improve the quality of their education.
We are volunteers who come together to work on programs, fundraisers and special events to enrich the educational experience of our children. We are volunteer-run and operate on a budget developed through our fundraising efforts.

Cerritos Watch D.O.G.S
The Dads of Great Students WATCH D.O.G.S.® program is one of the nation’s largest and most respected school-based, family, and community engagement, organizations designed and developed by educators, experts and parent & guardian volunteers over more than two decades.
This program helps provide positive male role models for the students, demonstrating by their presence that education is important. Meanwhile, we provide extra sets of eyes and ears to enhance school security, reduce bullying and provide a greater sense of campus safety allowing students and teachers to focus on learning and instruction.
