Please join the PTA. Memberships for families are only $15, and memberships for teachers are only $10.

PTA SECURES GRANT FUNDING

It's been a very important goal of the PTA Board to secure funding to purchase a language interpretation system (headsets) that will allow us to provide simultaneous translation services at ALL our meetings.

We are thrilled to announce that thanks to a generous grant from the McLean Community Foundation  it has finally happened!!!

GENERAL SCHOOL FAQs

    • What time does school start?

       

      School doors open at 8:30am and the first bell rings at 8:40am. Classes officially begin at 8:50am. If you arrive to school after 8:50am you should plan to enter through Door 1 and sign in at the front desk. 

    • What door do students who walk to school use?

       

      All students who walk to school (grades Pre-K through 6th) should enter the school through Door 2. You can use this visual as a reference for both walkers and kiss-and-ride entry/exit points.  Remember, Pre-K students are required to be walked to Door 2 and handed off to a Pre-K staff member. 

    • My student plans to buy lunch, how do I manage meal payments?

       

      If your student needs to purchase lunch, you'll need a MySchoolBucks account. From your account you can add and manage funds for all your children, whether through a one-time payment or an auto-pay solution.

 

GENERAL FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 

  • If I join the PTA, do I have to volunteer my time?

     

    Volunteering is not required! You can join and pay dues simply to support our activities. Volunteering isn't required to be a part of the PTA. And if you want to volunteer, but aren't a dues-paying PTA member, that's okay too! 

  • If I join the PTA, do I have to go to PTA meetings?

     

    Meetings are 100% optional! We love when parents join us at PTA meetings. It's a great way to learn about what's happening at school, hear from teachers and other guest speakers, learn about volunteer opportunities, and to ask any questions. However, you are not required to go to meetings, even if you join the PTA.
