Technology Reminder!
Parents/Guardians: Please remind your students to bring their laptop chargers to school every day. Student laptops are to be charged and ready to go each school day!
More and more students are forgetting their chargers, and the library has a limited number that students can borrow. This leads to students missing out on valuable instruction when they either have to go to the library to get loaner or if they are unable to participate in class because their laptop is not charged.

Hello from the Fugett PTO!
Greetings from the Fugett PTO!
We have a few committee openings and a few new committees we are looking for volunteers for. Please read below for more info. If you are interested in any of these committees, or have any questions, please email us at fugettpto@gmail.com.
Beautification Committee (Available Now): We are looking for volunteers to lead and join our newly created beautification committee. This committee will be responsible for maintaining the front planters, the courtyard garden box, and a bulletin board in the cafeteria.
School Store Staffing Committee Chair (23-24 School year): The chair of this committee manages the Sign Up Genius for school store volunteers and maintains volunteer lists when there are last minute openings. This person also needs to verify that all volunteers have their clearances up to date with the front desk.
Philanthropy Committee (23-24 School year): This chair works closely with the school social worker to determine the needs of the school population and determines how the PTO can best support those needs. Also coordinates donation drives throughout the year.
Adult Social Committee (23-24 School year): We are looking for volunteers to lead and join our newly created Adult Social Committee for next school year. This committee will be responsible for planning a casual 6th grade parents meet up at the beginning of the school year, and a school wide parents meet up in the Winter or Spring.
