  • What can you do?  Get involved! 

    • Volunteer your time 

    • Attend PTA meetings 

    • Read the minutes 

    • Give us your feedback 

    • Ask questions 

    • Donate what you can, be it money, skills, products, or time.  It all counts and is important!

Communicate

The PTA primarily uses Konstella to communicate with parents. If you have a question or a suggestion for a member of the PTA Executive Board, please feel free to message one of us on Konstella, or just come say hi at pickup/dropoff. We welcome feedback from all parents, and we encourage you to come to us with ideas about ways to support and improve our wonderful school.

Volunteer

We need parents with all sorts of skills to volunteer!
