Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week 5/29-6/1
Hello Tulita Families!

At PTA Convention I heard the phrase, " Make each child's potential become a reality ." This month our Executive Board Elect will meet to plan for the 2018/19 school year. Our goal will be to continuously support meaningful programs that provide education to our school community, with a hope that we are a small support in allowing for children to experience success. If you have any comments or suggestions on how we can make this happen, please consider filling out our survey , or send me a note or an email ! 
Congratulations to our PTA's Honorary Service Award Winners:

  • Shannon Flaherty
  • Rachel Lonsdale
  • Liz Koutures
  • Casey Schwartz
  • Mr. Dave (our crossing guard)
  • Ms. Debbie Collette

Thank you for your continued support to our Tulita community!

Community News
Is anyone else planning for summer and the battles technology might present us?! I am, but I'm fighting that battle with assistance! At PTA Convention I met Alon Shwartz, the CEO for unGlue . It is a company that advocates for balanced screen time. They have been kind enough to offer our families a discount for their app. Take some time to check it out! 

Too much screen time. It’s a problem all parents face. Now there’s a solution that gives kids the power to learn healthier habits — within your boundaries. It’s not about parental control. It’s about teaching them to manage their own time.

PTA is an advocacy group for children and families. Although it does not endorse candidates, it does participate in detailed research of the bills and legislation that passes the desks of our California Congresspersons. AB2878 is a bill sponsored by CAPTA that highlights the benefits of Family Engagement. Take a moment to review this link to learn more!  

You can also participate in one of the many Conference Calls regarding advocacy and legislation. Take a moment to  look at this link  and follow instructions for the May 29th Call-In.
