Summer is coming to an end and the start of school is upon us. Our school community is ready to welcome back students for another fantastic year at Pleasant Hill Elementary!

With over thirty executive and committee positions, the Pleasant Hill PTA supports a variety of activities and events throughout the year. It is our goal to continue to build and strengthen our school community. To help us accomplish that mission, we encourage every family to join the PTA . For a small fee of ten dollars, a family membership provides access to our directory, supports PTA programs, funds exciting events, and provides opportunities to give back to our community. Please take a look at our website to view our list of committees and executive positions. If you find anything that interests you please reach out at phpta15@gmail.com; we would love to hear from you and are happy to answer any questions that you might have!

One of the most critical roles available is our 3rd VP of Ways and Means. This executive position oversees fundraising. Without membership and fundraising, we will not be able to offer the wide variety of programs and events that the Pleasant Hill community has enjoyed in previous years. If you are interested in learning more about this role or if you would like to lead or team up with someone to spearhead fundraising events such as the Read-a-Thon or Movie Night, please contact us.

We would like to thank our current PTA members, welcome those who are joining us for the first time, and encourage those who have not yet participated in the PTA to consider joining. Your active membership supports our community and, most importantly, our students.

You can join or renew your membership through our Pleasant Hill PTA website at https://phepta.membershiptoolkit.com/home. You can use the QR code on the home page or check out the Quick Links buttons on the left to activate your membership. If you are a returning family please make sure to update your information.

Enjoy these last days of summer break and Go Cougars!

Every year, many children in the Palatine area lack proper clothing for the Illinois’ winter weather. District 15 has a long-standing partnership with the PATH Community Closet. The Community Closet serves the Palatine area by providing donated clothing to children and families in need. The impact of COVID has left the Community Closet with less donated clothing than in past years. We are hoping you can help by donating any unwanted clothing items at your school’s yellow clothing donation bin. The bin is located in your school’s lobby. Parents or children can place clothing items into their school’s yellow bin during regular school hours. This is a great way to put your children’s gently used and outgrown clothing to good use! All clothing, especially winter wear, is much appreciated and will be put to good use.

Infinite Campus' Campus Parent is designed to provide parents real-time access to student information. The easy-to-use design displays what is currently happening in the classroom so you can understand, monitor, and participate in your child’s educational experience.

This portal also provides parents access to check for teacher placement and student schedules once their student is registered. District 15 has also used IC to gather parent survey responses. Make sure you have your account set up for the new school year! To learn how to set up your account, watch tutorials, or access a help center, please visit our website.
