Dear Parents,

I hope you are all enjoying your summer with your families as best you can during this unprecedented times. I know the news we received last week about the school opening in the fall with distance learning was not what some of us wanted to hear. There are a lot of questions about the upcoming school year’s distance learning model. The Board of Education are meeting tonight on how to direct the school sites on the expectation and improvements needed for Distance Learning. I will also be meeting with Principal Hertz, and working with the PTA board to organize a plan to provide support to our teachers, information to our parents, and a fun and enriching experience to our students during this unprecedented year.
 
We don't have all the answers, but a plan for fall is now in active development, and we want to hear from parents. The PTA is here to advocate for families and students. We are working behind the scenes to ensure our voices are heard on all the important issues to Malibu Elementary families.

Please tell us how we can best focus our efforts to help you and your student(s) during the upcoming school year by taking our short survey below. It should only take about 5 minutes to complete.



Please connect with me directly with any questions, concerns and ideas.

Respectfully,

Jennifer Pappas
PTA President

Our SOS Campaign is running through July 31st.
The online auction launch date to run from Friday, July 24th - July 31st

Just as reminder this does not mean we will not have aides, PS Arts or our new Planet Bravo technology program. But with the financial situation as it is these programs will be significantly affected.

Our financial need remains even during virtual learning, our instructional aides, arts, and technology programs will remain vital. Please consider a donation to our school at:
