Welcome Back!

Welcome back Country Meadows Families!!!!  We cannot believe how fast this summer flew by, and we have been busy planning a year full of fun for everyone.

Start the year on the right foot by logging into Membership Toolkit (MTK) to update your teacher assignment.  This is an essential step to making sure your child receives his or her ticket for Dessert Day and Special Lunch.  While you are on MTK, feel free to go ahead and place your orders for these extra fun lunchtime events and pat yourself on the back for making your kid’s week a little brighter.  

Go ahead . . . we’ll wait.

Now you are ready to get this year started and we can’t wait to see you at Meet and Greet at 8:30 a.m. August 17.

Make sure to plan enough time to stop by the PTO table when passing through the cafeteria. We will have spirit-wear ready for purchase (cash preferred). The PTO Executive Board will be available to answer questions about what we do, assist with MTK, and match you with a committee to help plan some of our amazing events throughout the year. We are also putting together a huge art installation, so your kiddo will have an opportunity to contribute a piece of themselves with their excitement for the upcoming year.

Country Meadows Volunteer Opportunities

After you’ve stopped by to see us at Meet the Teacher and are buzzing with excitement, head back over to MTK at 12 p.m. on August 17 when our in-school volunteer sign-ups will open.  Pick a Wednesday to come be everyone’s hero at Dessert Day or a Friday to make Special Lunch Day a little extra special.

This will also be the time to sign up to assist with classroom parties! The PTO hosts holiday parties for Halloween, Winter, and Valentine’s Day. This year, to allow parents with multiple kids to have a convenient way to volunteer, we will have a Party Planner spot for each holiday per classroom. This way you can help plan Halloween for one child while volunteering in another one’s class for Valentine’s, for example. 

Please log in to MTK and select either Party Planner or Party Assistant for each of your children. We will first open it up for one parent per classroom per holiday. If we still have more open spots, we will allow those who want to volunteer for more, to sign up again.

If you haven’t already done so, please consider signing up for a committee.  The events that the PTO sponsors every year only happen because of parents like you who volunteer their time to plan.  Planning can be done at any time and committees determine their meetings time based off of everyone’s schedules. 

Working during the day? Have a Zoom call in the evening!  Kids crazy in the evening?  Hop on a call during the day while they are at school! 

More volunteers contribute to better events and easier planning and every committee is supported by the executive board.  Sign up today and make it a magical year for your kids!
