ANNOUNCEMENTS

The Edgartown School Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is pleased to announce that we are becoming a Parent Teacher Association (PTA). This is an exciting change for our organization, as it allows us to tap into state and national PTA resources to better serve our school and students. PTA is the nation's original parent group in schools, supporting and encouraging millions of parents to get involved in their children's education.

We are seeking charter members to officially kick off our PTA chapter. The charter membership is $7 per individual, or $10 per teacher and spouse/partner couple. This annual membership will enable our current board to begin the process of connecting with state resources and to plan a formal PTA kickoff for Fall 2012. Your membership does not commit you to monthly meetings or active involvement, unless you wish.

Please join us today! Simply return the form on the back of the letter you received in your child's folder, or download from the file cabinet below, to the PTA Mailbox in the front office with your check made out to "The Edgartown School PTA" by January 31st. Should you have any questions about the PTA, please contact Becky Hegarty, PTA President 2011-2012. (email: rjbhegarty (at) yahoo.com)
