PTA Notes
Parents,
Please take a moment to pay your $5.00 membership fee so that we can build our PTA. We will have our 1st meeting Tuesday night and hope that you will be able to attend virtually.
Thank you for also supporting the PTA's fundraising efforts from last year! We appreciate your support!
Friendly Reminders
- We will begin our morning announcements at 8:15 AM daily and ask that all students are in their seats in front of the computer ready to begin their day prior to 8:30 AM.
- We are going to use Mypaymentsplus for all of our monetary transactions besides small fundraisers throughout the year. Please make sure that you have created your My Payments Plus account - you will need your student's ID number which is located on the parent portal or a previous report card.
- We are infusing social emotional learning with our PBIS character building program. Every classroom will have a morning meeting daily where they will greet one another, share something based on a Falcon Focused topic, engage in an activity and end with a morning message. This 10 minute activity every day ties to our AKS, but also helps to start the day off positively. Ask your child about this amazing experience.
