School Climate Survey
Twin Lakes Elementary and San Juan Unified would like to invite you to take the annual district climate survey. Your feedback is vital and informs school and district leaders of the changes needed in their communities. The deadline for the survey is Feb. 7.
Paper surveys were sent home this week with all Twin Lakes students, and are also available online at: sanjuan.edu/parentsurvey
We greatly value your feedback and thank you in advance for your participation.
Volunteers Needed for Kindness Week
We need volunteers to support our lunchtime activities during Kindness Week, February 3rd-7th. If you are able and willing to support during our lunch periods from 11:20-1:35 on any or all of these days, we would be so appreciative!
Please sign up for you preferred day/time on the survey linked below.

Art Docent Donations Needed
25-26 PTA Board Members Needed!
For the 25-26 school year, we will need some NEW volunteers to serve as PTA Board Members.
The PTA promotes, plans, and presents events to raise funds for our students, teachers and staff at Twin Lakes Elementary. Without the PTA Board and volunteers, events and funding will not move forward into the next school year.
Current Board Members serving in each position are excited to guide any PTA member interested in becoming a Board Member. They will also offer training for members in new Board positions for the 2025/2026 school year.
New Board positions will be voted on in April, and new Board Member roles will go into effect in July with the review of the current budget, the establishment of the 25-26 working budget, and the calendaring of events for the 2025/2026 school year.
Joining the Board and volunteering with the PTA is incredibly rewarding to you and your student(s)! With your participation on the board you achieve marketable skills, great leadership training, community respect, increased self confidence, computer skills, public speaking training and most importantly, support and friendships from a great group of people.

PTA Coordinator Positions:
