The PTA Needs You!

Many PTA Board positions are open for next year. Executive board positions have term limits, so new members are needed for our robust SCES PTA to continue. You don’t have to do it all, and there are plenty of returning members to guide you, and the outgoing volunteers are usually available to support your transition into the role as well!

The PTA organizes events:

Welcome Back Social
Scholastic Book Fair
Poetry Night
Math Night
GeoBowl
World Culture Day
STEAM Fair
Book Share

The PTA organizes the in-house Salamander Stride as our one fundraiser a year, keeping 100% of the profits!

Indoor recess games, outside soccer balls, affordable field trips, room parent coordination, T-shirts, safety signage, after-school activities, teacher appreciation, student advocacy, representation in the wider MCCPTA community…all happen because Sligo Creek has a PTA!

Find an official list of duties here. We will vote in new officers (President, Executive VP, Secretary, Treasurer, VP Events, and any co-VPs) in our May and June PTA meetings.

Back-to-School (again!) Flyer for kids

What’s happening?
Next Monday, on March 15, some of you will be going to the Sligo Creek school building and classrooms (Hi, Roomies!) and some of you will stay at home and attend school on Zoom (Hi, Zoomies!).

What will it look like to attend school in person?
If you’ve been to school before, it will be different from what you’re used to.
Just a few examples:

Desks will be 6 feet apart in each classroom
Everyone must wear a mask ALL the time (except lunch)
Lots of hand sanitizing stations
Water fountains will be off

All of these changes are to keep everyone safe.

I’m nervous about going back to school.

That is a totally normal feeling to have! Grownups, including teachers and parents, are feeling a bit nervous too. It may help for you to talk to a grownup or a friend about how you are feeling. Fill out this worksheet together and start a conversation!
