IMPORTANT PTO Information!

Hello WDES Families! The 2019/2020 WDES PTO would like to welcome you all back to school! We all hope you had a relaxing summer!

Here are some special dates and announcements to get everyone back on the school schedule! In the future our PTO news will be located in the weekly principal prowl, our monthly PTO newsletter, facebook and our PTO website!

Have you become a PTO member yet? No worries, you have plenty of time! Becoming a PTO member DOES NOT MAKE YOU A VOLUNTEER! Actually, if you do not have time to volunteer this is a great and easy way to help out your child’s school!

By becoming a member and paying your annual WDES PTO $15 membership fee, you help fund the PTO! What does the PTO buy with membership fees?
-Agendas
-Art notebooks
-Canvas bags
-Class t-shirts
-A $200 classroom voucher for every teacher
-A $100 voucher for every courtyard to enhance outdoor learning
-A $100 voucher for support staff
-Fun events throughout the year such as Grandparent Days, Movie Night, BINGO, Winterfest, Field Day and more!

Also, becoming a PTO member allows you to come to our Open PTO Meetings! Two Open PTO meetings are scheduled for the 2019/2020 school year. At our Open Meetings members will be able to vote, get their opinion heard and assist the PTO in planning! 

Open Meeting Dates:
November 5th @ 7:30am Media Center
February 11th @ 7:30am Media Center

Please consider becoming a member:

We are putting together some committees.  If you have a passion for either one of these, please let us know if you would be willing to serve.

Instead of clipping from packages and checking expiration dates, all Box Tops will be
earned digitally by scanning your receipt. The Box Tops for Education team has worked hard to build a NEW-and-improved, user-friendly Box Tops mobile app, available now.

The new app features state-of-the-art technology that allows you to scan your store receipt, find participating products and instantly add Box Tops to our school's earnings online.

If you still have traditional Box Tops clips at home, make sure to send them to school. We will still earn cash for all clipped Box Tops until they expire. Better yet, you can “double dip” during the packaging transition by clipping traditional Box Tops AND scanning your store receipt containing participating products.

OUR BOX TOP EARNING GOAL for the 2019/2020 SCHOOL YEAR IS $1,000! A SCHOOL WIDE PAJAMA DAY WILL BE REWARDED WHEN WE REACH OUR GOAL!

What should we spend that money on? Come to the PTO Open Meeting and give us some ideas!

​PTO MYTHBUSTERS
-Joining PTO doesn’t mean you will be joining the board or committing to volunteering. By paying your membership, you will provide financial support for PTO funded activities. It also gives you the option to vote on important decisions. 

-PTO isn’t a group of crazy moms planning overzealous bake sales (LOL). It’s a non-profit organization that supports the faculty, students and families of WDES.
​
Membership is $15 per family. Membership Fees are used for WDES events and purchases only- we are not part of a national organization and do not send dues elsewhere.
