PTSA Meeting - Tuesday, 1/17
Our PTSA has many fun family events scheduled for the second half of the school year! These include another PTSA movie night, Padres y Pan, and our annual World's Fair. These events are only possible with the generous support of family volunteers. (Helping or volunteering with the PTSA does not necessarily require parents to have completed the school volunteer process.)
Be a part of the planning and learn how you can help with upcoming PTSA events by attending our PTSA meeting on Tuesday, 1/17, at 5:30 PM in Rm 20.
Field Trip Chaperones and Upcoming Volunteer Training - Wednesday, 1/18
Parents and family members interested in chaperoning for field trips should reach out to their child's teacher to ask about need and availability. There may be limited seats on the bus and/or space at the main event.
All chaperones MUST also have completed the volunteer process for the 2022-23 school year. Our next Volunteer Orientation & Training will be on Wednesday (1/18) at 4:00 PM.
Completing the volunteer orientation and training allows parents and family members to volunteer in the classroom and at school, in addition to chaperoning field trips.
SPECIAL Minimum Day on Wednesday, 1/25
