Back to School !!!

We hope you all enjoyed the kid's first day back to school.  I know my house was a lot quieter.  Many of the teachers have sign-ups in the classroom if you are willing and wanting to volunteer to help in the classes.  You can help with any or all of the class parties (4 for the year) and/or help in the classes with reading groups, etc.  You can also email the teachers if you are not able to make it into the classroom.  Emails can be found here.  (Some teachers are not on the list but you could email the principal, Mr. Marlowe,  and he can forward it the teacher.)  Stay tuned for more updates!!

School Supplies

Yep It's already begun-school supply shopping.  If you don't have the list for your child's grade level you can click on this link and scroll through to find it.  Remember Wal-Mart, Fred Meyer and Target price match.  Good luck!!

Registration is August 16th.  Class lists will not be posted yet-it's usually the week after.  If you filled out the forms at the end of the school year last year then you don't need to come.  However, there will be sign-ups for classroom help & PTO help.  Any questions please comment here or contact one of the PTO presidency members.
