New leadership for the district's Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) is wanted for the 22-23 school year. PTSA was unable to meet and plan due to the Covid pandemic. Next year we hope to once again start up a vibrant and strong PTSA. If you are interested in taking a leadership role or just want some information about this important district team, please reach out to Heather Becksted at South Bay or Tim Grimmett at Pine Hill.
