PTL

With the new school year underway, the PTL would like all of Concordia's parents/guardians to be informed and involved in their children's education and school!  Our new officers would appreciate your valuable input on functions and fundraisers that are vital to the success of our school.  PTL provides many of the “extras” our children enjoy throughout the year.  Come, learn, share and enjoy the fellowship.

The PTL welcomes everyone to the meetings, but if you can't make it, you will still know what is going on

Many thanks to all of the parents who came out for our meeting last week.  Your input is appreciated and will be incorporated as planning for functions and fundraisers continues this year.  The PTL Board is seeking Secretary to fill the current vacancy.  Simple note taking and retyping into minutes are necessary.  (For any questions, contact Karon Novak or Laurie Manchester.)  A Treasurer-in-Training is needed as well.  “Shadow” our current treasurer and learn all the ropes!  This job is for you!

 

All you every wanted to know about the

Parent-Teacher League (PTL)

but didn’t have time to ask…

  1.  What is PTL?
    bulletA group of parents and teachers that discuss and make decisions that concern our children’s school environment and experiences.
    bullet Because you are a parent of a child attending Concordia, you are a member of this group.
  1. What does PTL do?
    bullet Primarily PTL works on fundraising in an effort to raise money to provide opportunities for our children, such as field trips, classroom supplies, and athletic/art/technology equipment and supplies.
  1. What happens at PTL meetings?
    bullet Teachers, board members and interested parents meet three times during the school year for approximately 1 hour to mainly discuss the different ways to raise money for the children, decide how those monies are spent, and field any PTL project related questions and issues.
  1. How will I know what’s going on with PTL?
    bullet This year we’re taking a different approach on the communication process. You will be able to access PTL information on the Concordia website as well as through e-mail and your child’s ‘take home’ folder. 
  1. What do you need from me as a parent?
    bullet FUNDRAISING IDEAS! We’re hoping to add some new, different, fun and exciting fundraisers this year but we need your help. Please pass along ANY ideas you have – all will be considered.
    bullet COMMENTS, CONCERNS, SUGGESTIONS are welcome.
