PTC Dues
If you haven't already, it's time to pay your PTC dues ($12/family). Your dues are an important means to continue to enrich our students' school experience, whether they are hybrid or remote! Click below to pay and learn about what your dues will go toward.
Six Committee Chairs / Co-Chairs Still Needed
Please consider signing up as Education Garden Paver Chair or Co-Chair, Girls Running Club Chair or Co-Chair, Talent Show Co-Chair, or Website Refresh Chair. For any questions about any of the roles, please contact Vanessa Prinz at vanessaprinz@gmail.com. PTC activities can only happen with parent volunteers!
Committee Volunteers Needed
It's the beginning of a different kind of school year, and we are just as much in need of parent volunteers as always. We are a parent community, committed to supporting the school with resources, time and effort. It would not be possible to do all that we do without your support. New this year: We are filling only volunteer roles for programs taking place in the 1st half of the school year (now through winter break.) Volunteers for programs taking place in the 2nd half of the school year (post winter break through end-of-year) will be requested later.  While we are doing our best to be thorough in providing all first half opportunities at once, there are some programs that are being re-vamped for this special year and details are still being worked out between committee chairs, and teachers in some cases. Once these details are sorted out, there may be additional volunteer opportunities added. If you have any questions about any of the volunteer opportunities, please contact Vanessa Prinz at vanessaprinz@gmail.com. 
Socials
Despite the pandemic that is upon us, there are still creative ways to STAY CONNECTED AND SOCIAL! We have always enjoyed our social fundraisers in the past, and we hope that this year is no different. While we are not holding in-person events at this time, we are planning virtual gatherings throughout this year. We already have some fabulous ideas in the works, but if you have an idea of an event to host, please email our team at cossittparties@gmail.com. Proceeds benefit the school and our kids! We hope to get back to in-person events next year.
Clothing Sale
Are you cleaning out your kids' closets and not sure where to bring the gently used clothes they’ve outgrown? Consider donating them to Cossitt!! Even though we’re not having our fall sale this year we are accepting donations and will save them for our next sale. All proceeds will then go straight to Cossitt! Items will be collected starting today at 88 7th Avenue.
Room Parent Sign Up
This year, we are making some changes to our Room Parent Program. Some details include:

  • Classes will have one Room Parent Coordinator (RPC) with additional Room Parents 
  • RPC will be key teacher contact and check it to see how parents can help
  • Organize teacher gifts (optional class participation)
  • Find creative ways to celebrate holidays, milestones and organize other fun class activities
  • Additional responsibilities as the program evolves

Watch your email for a Sign Up Genius later this month!
