Thinking of hosting but worried about the heavy lift? We’ve got you! Just pick the time and date (early–mid October), provide the space, and the rest of the class will take it from there!

This popular event is a great way for families to get to know each other as we start a new year at a new school.

Dear Bigelow Families,

We hope you’ve had a fun and relaxing summer break. We are excited to welcome you and your student(s) to the 2025-26 school year at Bigelow Middle School!

As parents or guardians of students at Bigelow, you are all members of the PTO. The PTO acts as a liaison between parents and the school, helps to build community and foster communication, and fundraises for the priorities set by Bigelow.

We are fortunate to be part of such a wonderful community and we look forward to serving you in the coming year. We wish you and your students an outstanding year!
