SWS Ice Cream Social - Order Deadline Extended!
The SWS Ice Cream Social is only a week away - Thursday, September 30, from 6 - 9pm! If you didn't get a chance to send it in with your child today, we have extended the deadline to Monday, September 27! Please note that we are not selling tickets at the door this year to ensure that we purchase enough ice cream! :)
Flyers to order your tickets were sent home. If you need one, here's the IceCreamSocialOrderForm. Please send the form in with your child in an envelope, marked "Ice Cream Social", so that we can keep track of food orders. Once you totaled your order, you can pay by Cash, Check, or Venmo (@StarkweatherPTO)!

water bottles...
We are using some 5 gallon refilling stations in the building, along with some cases of water to get us by until our water filling stations can be installed.
Put your kid's name on the bottle, please!
We have ordered water filling stations to be installed...but the issue is that so has every other school in the country, so we are not expecting them any time soon. Way back in the day, parents used to drop off reams of copy paper to help out...we don't need any paper, but whenever you feel like dropping off a few cases of water, they will get used! Thanks!

PTO Dues
The Starkweather PTO welcomes you to the 2021-2022 school year! We anticipate that most of our beloved SWS events and activities will be back for this school year but we can't do it without your amazing support!
This year, we are collecting $25 per family NOT per child. Of course you are always welcome to contribute more, any extra dues leftover at the end of the year will go towards our fundraising efforts for a new SWS playground! More information and opportunities to help with this effort will be sent out throughout the year as we begin planning to fundraise!
To make it easy, we offer several ways to pay dues for you to help support Starkweather:
- Online payment will be available through Venmo by sending to @StarkweatherPTO or click our VenmoQR to scan with your phone. Our logo is the wolf; no need to confirm with phone number.
- You can log into our SWSMembershipSite and pay online. *This is also how families can add themselves to our school directory to receive emails, class lists and parent contacts (more information on this in a section below).
- Checks or cash can be sent in with your child once school is in session. Checks should be made out to Starkweather PTO.
