AIG Referral Window
The AIG Referral Window is now open until January 10, 2020.
Goals of the referral process:
Open the pool of referred students as broadly as possible.
Attend to under-represented populations in our district.
Present parents and students with data.
Remind stakeholders of the availability of the program.
A teacher, parent/guardian, classmate or any person having academic knowledge of the student may refer any student in grades kindergarten through twelve for evaluation.

Sign up to be a Thrift Store Volunteer!
Our volunteers at the Thrift Shop last year helped us to add over $20,600 to our budget for this year. This money pays for field trips, classroom and teacher support, schoolwide projects and clubs and a lot of fun events for the students and community.
We are really struggling to get volunteers to come out for workgroups this year. If the 6-8pm window isn’t working for your schedule, feel free to drop in AT ANY TIME and help in the store! Ask for the manager on duty and let them know you have some time and want to volunteer for Pittsboro Elementary School.
We have our workgroups scheduled through the end of 2019. Check out the schedule, grab a fellow mom or dad, and come out for just ONE workgroup! The hours add up and mean so much for the school!
