Month: June 2018

The school administration would like to host a half day workshop for teachers on Monday September 24th. Because this is not a DOE scheduled half day, the PTA must vote to approve it. We will have a very short PTA meeting on Tuesday July 10th at 8AM to take the vote. This will be the only item on the agenda.

Emergency PTA Meeting : July 10th at 8AM
