PTG Highlights: Back to School Nights + New Parent Coffee + Fall Parent Social

Back to School Nights

Back to School Night for Grades 3 through 5 Parents is on Tuesday, September 13 from 7 – 8:30 PM.  We will begin in the Auditorium at 7 PM. This is designed to be an adult only night.

Back to School Night for Kindergarten through Grade 2 Parents is Wednesday, September 14 from 7 – 8:30 PM.  We will begin in the Auditorium at 7 PM. This is designed to be an adult only night. 

Room parents will be collecting PTG dues at Back-to-School Night.  Alcott PTG dues are recommended at $30 per family (not student) but are not mandatory.  

The dues we collect, along with direct donations by our school community, and our fall fundraiser provide 100% of the Children's Enrichment Programming, teacher stipends, the Alcott Student Directory, community support for families in need and much more. The Alcott PTG spends around $115 per student per year to provide these programs. 

Dues can be paid by check (made out to Alcott PTG with dues in memo line), cash or credit card at Back-to-School Night. You can also pay online via PayPal.

Volunteer opportunities + Important Dates & Information for Back to School

Welcome Back! Room Parents Needed: We still need room parents for grades: K, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th.  Being a room parent at Alcott is a special volunteer opportunity as our teachers welcome the support and the students enjoy seeing you in the classroom! If you are interested, please email jmonaghan71@yahoo.com. The PTG thanks you! Library Volunteers Needed: The Alcott School Library Media Center relies on a network of parent volunteers.  Under the guidance of a Library Volunteer Coordinator, volunteers are recruited and trained at the start of each school year and a volunteer schedule is created to cover all classes for that school year.  Volunteer tasks include: circulation of material, shelving and shelf reading, assisting students with book selection, and housekeeping. If you are interested in helping out, please sign up by clicking HERE. Elementary Band and Orchestra - Be Part of the Music!, TONIGHT, 6:30PM: Reminder to all new and prospective Band/Orchestra Students, tonight is the annual Instrumental Music Parent Orientation on at 6:30PM at CMS Sanborn.  We will be discussing expectations, schedule and other important information.  We hope to see all band and orchestra parents at this event.  If you or your child are still on the fence or have questions before you join, this is a fantastic opportunity to get some answers to inform your decision.  It’s much easier to quit than it is to start late!.  If you haven’t signed your 4th or 5th grader up, it’s not too late!
