COVID-19 Support
Kingsley PTA has joined together with other PTAs across the district, along with the PTA Equity Project, to create a collective fund to support all D65 families in need. If you're able, please consider donating. You can contribute here. Please apply the gift to the PTA Equity Project Fund (either by typing it in the "Other Fund" box or by clicking on the "View a full listing here" link and selecting PTA Equity Project Fund from the drop-down menu). This fund is separate from the Evanston Community Rapid Response Fund.
 
If you ARE IN NEED of support, please reach out to Principal Davis (davisda@district65.net) or complete this form.
Volunteer for the 2020-21 School Year
We are still seeking volunteers for the role of Vice President. This officer role would work with the Presidents as needed to "learn the ropes" for stepping into the role of President for the following year. This is a great way for someone newer to the PTA to become more familiar with the organization and President role before stepping into it. Please consider volunteering for this important and meaningful position. It is a wonderful opportunity to give back to our school community. If you'd like to learn more, email Vanessa Dillingham or Michelle Dahl.
 
There are a number of other ways to get involved in the PTA and we would love to have anyone interested join us. There are so many ways to help out, regardless of how much - or little - time you have to give. Your help will be needed more than ever as our school transitions into our "new normal." However you are able to volunteer will be meaningful and have a big impact!

Review the list of volunteer roles here, and click here to sign up to volunteer. If you know what you'd like to do, add that in your comments. If you aren't sure, a PTA member will get in touch to help find the right thing for you.
ABC Countdown 

There are only 26 days of school left! Our teachers have planned the Kingsley ABC countdown, which starts today. Let's end the year strong TOGETHER. 

Teacher Appreciation Week

National Teacher Appreciation Week is quickly approaching next week from May 4th - 8th. Let's show some love to our amazing Kingsley teachers who are doing their best to continue teaching our kids remotely. 

Make a sign for your window or door celebrating our teachers and staff, or print this one. Watch for more details on how the PTA is honoring our fantastic teachers and staff in an email from your room parents.  

Take a picture of your sign and share it with us on our Facebook page!
What's Next?

We know there are many questions parents and caregivers have right now, and we are working with the district to provide answers, especially with regard to fifth grade transition to Haven. Fifth grade families - keep an eye out for informational emails in the coming weeks. We will continue to share information here each Tuesday as it becomes available.
