Boosterthon

Dance Fit FUNdraiser

Boosterthon DANCE FIT is an exciting program that gets students moving and grooving as they raise funds for Pinecrest PTA! Dance Fit was created in partnership with Just Dance - the ever popular video game.  Our goal is to raise funds for school improvement (for example, we are close to our goal of installing a PE track!), educational programs, and to strengthen our school community. 

Our Pinecrest Dance Fit FUNdraiser will kick off on September 20th.

The week and a half fundraising campaign culminates in a 35-minute, action-packed, glow in the dark dance party and fitness activity that students absolutely love! This year, each grade level will dance together in our cafeteria, making for one HUGE party!

This is one of our PTA’s largest fundraisers, and we are excited to get the party started…Here's where you come in!

WhatsApp Parent Class Chat Guidelines

As we start the 2022-2023 school year, we want to thank you for joining the WhatsApp group for your class. We believe WhatsApp groups are an excellent way to maintain the lines of communication between administration, teachers and parents. With that said, below are guidelines that the PTA is asking every parent to follow so that the chat can be used in the most effective, efficient and respectful manner this year. 

- Please think before you post. Is what you are posting relevant to the majority of the parents in the classroom? If not, consider sending a private message instead.  

- Avoid posting multiple responses (examples: "Thank you," "I don't know," emojis, etc.) as it can disrupt the chat and result in parents no longer checking the group.

- Please do not use the group chat to berate others, share grievances about another person or the school, share jokes or memes, or promote outside interests/businesses. Remember that the purpose of the WhatsApp group is simply the sharing of school related information such as upcoming events, homework, etc.    

- One-on-one conversations should be taken offline or conducted through private messages.   

- The group is not a political platform and views should not be shared or debated. 

The PTA reserves the right to remove parents from the WhatsApp group if these guidelines are violated. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the PTA at pinecrestptacommunication@gmail.com.
