Consider Volunteering! The PTO Needs Your Help!
Room Parents Needed!
Seeking 2024-25 Room Parents - 3rd & 4th Grades

Consider being a room parent next year! This is a vital way to help your homeroom teacher and also a way to meet other parents, to plan classroom events, and to have your fingers on the pulse of the classroom. Roles include communications (monthly), party planning (about 4/year), volunteer coordination (signup genius guru). Ideally we would have at least 3 parents per classroom, and we are still looking for help in the 3rd and 4th grade classrooms. If interested, please add yourself to the RP list. Chris Cho will reach out once classroom assignments are made at the beginning of the year.
Seeking Grade Level Parent Potluck Hosts for 1st, 3rd & 4th Grades

These are generally held on an August/September weeknight based on the host's schedule. Parents are asked to bring a potluck dish or drinks, so the hosts are not responsible for feeding everyone. Principal Lopez and the teachers of each grade level will be invited. This is a great way to get to know fellow parents and students' new teachers for the year! 

Please reach out to Jaime at Community@PolarisPTO.com if you have any questions or want to host. 
Potluck Hosts Needed!
