1. Easy and Generous Teacher Gift Giving at Exploris- Mug Free!
If your family plans to participate in gift giving at school this year, the PTO would like to offer you the chance to contribute towards a MUCH-APPRECIATED cash gift for our teachers and staff. This collection ensures that all fifty-five teachers and staff members receive the recognition they deserve! The total collection will be divided among the teachers and staff. If you would like to participate:
- Please send in cash or a check (made payable to Exploris PTO) or make your donation ONLINE.
- Place your donation in an envelope marked “Teacher Thanks” or “Teacher Gift” with your name, your child(ren)’s name(s), and grade(s).
- Give it to Mary Margaret or Michael (either one is fine if you have children in both schools; it is not necessary to provide separate donations per child).
- If donating ONLINE, please include in the “Notes” at checkout, your name, your child(ren)’s names(s), and grade(s).
- Complete all donations by Monday, June 3rd.
For additional information please read our EXPLORIS THANKS FAQ’S.
If you have any questions, please let us know by emailing Kimberly Harris (ptopres@exploris.ort) or Kristin Corson (krash1065@yahoo.com)
2. EOGs – End of Grade Tests – Starting Tuesday, May 28!
Please remember to tell your kids: On the evening before EOGs, go to bed on time! Better yet, consider going to bed a little early so you fall asleep on time.
In the morning, wake up in time to have a healthy, protein rich breakfast! This will give you energy and mental stamina to last through the morning until lunch. There is no snack during End of Grade testing sessions.
3. Please get involved with the PTO next year!
To set ourselves up for an even better year next school year, the PTO Board has a goal to have all 2019-2020 Board positions and Committee Chairs filled by the end of the school year. We are almost there, but have a few positions to fill. They are listed below, but if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Allie Lindahl or any PTO Board member.
