Message from the Co-Presidents

Hi!  We're Rebecca Cukierman and Jessica Gruber, co-presidents of the PTO for the 2023-24 school year.  We hope you're having an amazing summer, and we are excited to welcome you back to school in September! We have a couple quick updates and then lots more information coming soon.... Keep an eye out for our official Back to School message and details on the first PTO events of the year. See you soon!

Stay Informed

There are many ways to stay informed about what's going on at school. We hope one of these resources works for you:

- read The Loop, the PTO's weekly newsletter which will be emailed to you on Sundays, beginning September 3rd

- join our Facebook group (please answer the questions to join!), follow us on Instagram and Twitter

- check out our website and download the app. We have a dedicated page for Back to School where you can find contact information for the first grade liaisons, first grade playground play dates, and more. 

  • If you don’t already have an account, PLEASE DO NOT REGISTER on the website until you receive a welcome email to join the directory – this creates duplicate entries, and then you are hearing from us multiple times. 

  • Once you get the registration link over the summer, we encourage you to subscribe to the calendar and join the directory so that you can connect with other families and also register for After School Enrichment Activities and more. 

- come to monthly PTO Meetings and learn what’s going on at school and meet other parents
