PTLpage

COMMITTEES:
ALL PTL committees welcome additional help WHENEVER POSSIBLE!!! While we encourage you to be an active PTL member and become a part of a committee(s) on a frequent and permanent basis, we empathize with everyone's time constraints and know that volunteers can only offer an amount of time that is comfortable for them. The PTL meetings are held monthly on Monday evenings. Attendance is not mandatory (even if you're on a committee). There are MANY opportunities for parents to become involved in PTL committees and not attend all of the meetings. If you are interested, please come to a meeting or leave a note for the PTL via the school office. The PTL changes from year-to-year as we lose valuable members to the Middle School as their children grow older and to other towns and schools as families relocate. Please, come to a meeting and check it out!
