Looking for Room Parent & Art Docent Volunteers

Welcome parents to the new school year! The PTA has two volunteer opportunities that you can participate in.

Class Room Parents
Every classroom needs 2-3 room parents. These volunteers will be trained by the room parent coordinator to gather names and contact information from each family in the classroom to generate a contact list. Teachers are not allowed to give out email or phone numbers of the families in their classrooms, so this list will be the only way you can contact your students new friends for playdates. Room parents help with coordinating events in the classrooms.

Art Docents
Every grade will need an art docent leader. This person will be trained by the art docent coordinator to help facilitate the beloved art docent program in the classrooms.
Picture Day is Coming

Date: Thursday, September 23
Grades Photographed: K - 5

Order your photos before Picture Day on mylifetouch.com with your Student's Picture Day ID: EVTQMX2GV
Picture Day Volunteers

We are also looking for volunteers to help with Picture Day at the school.

Annual Beagle Contributions (aka ABC) Fund

Please consider donating to the ABC fund to help support the programs we we want for all students.

Click here to donate to ABC today (It's step #3 in the welcome packet, after you join the PTA).

This year we are asking every family to donate $110 per student to the ABC fund. In honor of families who might not be able to contribute due to the financial impacts of Covid, we are asking families who have not been detrimentally impacted by the pandemic to GIVE BIG and consider donating twice the suggested amount.

Did you know that the Norman Rockwell Elementary School PTA is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization?

Donations to the organization may be tax deductible. Many companies also match employee’s charitable contributions. Your annual beagle contribution is considered a donation & may be eligible to be matched.

Thank you so much!
