Dear Carman Parents/Guardians -

School Health Services protocol requires that all medication housed in the school health office must be picked up by parents or guardians on or before the last day of school, June 2nd. In order to ensure the safe return of medication to parents, no medication will be sent home with students in backpacks on the bus/school transportation. Please fill out the form below to schedule a pickup time for the medication.

If your student will be attending summer school, please indicate on the form if you would like the medication transferred to the summer school location or if the medication will be picked up from school. All medication authorization forms and action plans from the 21-22 school year can be used for summer school.

Carman Trails Parents,

We are very excited to share the opportunity for you to vote on two more capital improvement projects! Thanks to our amazing community of parents and staff, we have surpassed our fundraising goals for this year.

In addition to the funds set aside for next year's operating budget, we have approximately $15,000 left to spend on improvement projects. Please review the two proposed projects and submit your vote. We are able to provide BOTH of these projects with our surplus funds this year! If approved, the new sound system will be installed over the summer. Also if approved, the teachers will be able to purchase items for their classrooms over the summer to be used in the fall.

View the projects and VOTE HERE.

Voting will close on Monday, May 23rd at 4:00 p.m.

(Per our by-laws, "There shall be no more than the budgeted operating expenses in

the account for the following year unless it is for a predetermined capital project or goal as set by the PTO Executive Board." (Article XI; Section 1)).

Update: We have not forgotten about the outdoor classroom! The shade sail has been slightly delayed due to the rainy spring. However, they will begin excavation in the next couple of weeks. The tables we purchased have been delivered to Parkway and are ready to be installed. We are sure you will see the new outdoor classroom popping up as you drive by Carman Trails this summer!

Thank you for your support this year!
