What
is the PTA?
The PTA is a group of parents who want to be involved in the school community.
Parents contribute whatever time they feel they have to give – whether
it’s a 30 minute volunteer shift at an event, or coordinating an entire event.
There are plenty of jobs that can be done at home, on the weekends, or with
children in tow. The PTA is a team organization, and welcomes any and all who
are interested in participating.
The PTA organizes many fun events throughout the school year, including the
Scholastic Book Fair in October, Winterfest in January, and Teacher
Appreciation Luncheon in May. On an everyday basis, the PTA
arranges lunch and recess coverage for the teachers, coordinates room parents,
helps with photocopying, and other activities that help enrich the curriculum
for the children at Shaker Lane.
Next
Meeting Date
The next PTA meeting will be on February 15, 2012 at 7:00 pm in the
Shaker Lane Library. The meeting is open to everyone, so
please join us. Meetings are usually on 3rd Tuesday
evenings at 7:00 pm each month with Rep Meetings on the 1st Thursday mornings
of the month.
This meeting is an opportunity to discuss and be involved in PTA activities,
events, and plans. If any specific funding decisions need
to be made, they will be made at the evening meetings only with the
input of everyone present (and any input provided ahead of time by those who
cannot attend). Decisions are made by the community at
large. An agenda for each meeting, including any items up
for funding, will be published ahead of each meeting.
Yahoo
Discussion Group
The Shaker Lane PTA maintains an online discussion group through Yahoo. This
is a good way to stay current with activities and discussions, even if you are
unable to attend meetings. To join, send email to lpta_shakerlane-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.
Please include your name and which grade your child is in so the
moderators can approve your membership.
CORI
Reminder
Don’t forget to get CORI’d! Volunteers must
submit new CORI forms each school year, and the CORI checks take a few weeks
to turn around. Please submit your CORI form asap!
If you were CORI’d last year, you may still volunteer at Shaker Lane while
waiting for this year’s form to be approved. New
volunteers must wait for approval this year.
