Twin Groves PTO Blog, Aug. 12, 2022

Welcome, Colt Families

Welcome New and Returning Colt Families! 

We hope you had an amazing summer!

To help make the back-to-school process as easy as possible, and to help you avoid missing deadlines, the Twin Groves PTO requests that you do a few things for us:

 

Update Your Membership Toolkit

Please take time this week to update your family information and become familiar with Membership Toolkit (MTK). If you are new to Twin Groves from another D96 school, please use your elementary school Membership Toolkit log-in information.  If you need instructions to create an account or assistance on how to use Membership Toolkit, please contact us at [email protected]

 

Pre-Order and Pre-Pay

We welcome you to PRE-ORDER and PRE-PAY for the following items….

  • PE Uniforms

PE Shirt and shorts are REQUIRED for all students to participate in PE. Sweatshirt and sweatpants are optional. PE Uniforms must be purchased through the PTO. Locks for gym lockers are required but do not have to be purchased through the PTO. Pre-order, including bundle discounts, closes on August 14. All Pre-Orders will be available for pick-up at Locker Set-Up. 

 

Note:  Locker Set-Up Day is Wednesday, August 17

Locker Set-Up Day is 4:30 to 6 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 17.

PRE-ORDERING on Membership Toolkit will speed up your Locker Set-Up Day process.  Spend less time in line, by pre-ordering your PE Uniforms.                  Locker Set-Up Day is August 17, 2022      

IF you don’t pre-order:

  • Computers will be set up in the gym for you to use.

PLEASE NOTE: You may experience long wait times with limited assistance. Avoid the wait by PRE-ORDERING!

*If ordering at Locker Set-Up, please remember your Membership Toolkit Login/Password and credit card (preferred) or check, to avoid additional delays. We are unable to accept cash at Locker Set-up. 

 

Dessert Day and Special Lunch

Order forms for Dessert Day and Special Lunch are up on MTK!!!

NEW for Dessert Day:  We have transitioned to Hershey’s Ice Cream.  One sign-up will be good for fall, and another sign-up will be available in spring.  Families will no longer need to pre-order flavors.

Parent volunteer sign up forms are also available on MTK.

 

PTO Dues

All PTO Board Members, Committee Members and Volunteers need to be part of the PTO. PTO Dues are $10 per family, per year. If you paid during registration, you do not need to pay again. If you did not, and would like to participate in PTO activities this year, please sign-up on MTK. Students do not need to be PTO members to participate in PTO activities. 

 

Volunteering for Twin Groves PTO

If you are interested in participating in PTO activities, you can sign up to volunteer for 2022-23 committees or as general volunteers on Membership Toolkit. We currently need committee members and volunteers for:

  • Fall Bash 
  • Special Lunch
  • Dessert Day

We are also seeking donations for the First Day Teacher Coffee Bar.  Please see our Amazon Wish List on LinkTree.

 

Important PTO Dates

We look forward to a great year! Please let us know if you have any additional questions regarding the PTO.
