Twin Groves PTO Blog, August 2nd, 2024

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:

MEMBERSHIP TOOLKIT

Please take time this week to update your family information and become familiar with Membership Toolkit. If you are new to Twin Groves from another D96 school, please use your elementary school Membership Toolkit login information.  If you need assistance, please contact us at [email protected]

Access Membership Toolkit at http://linktr.ee/twingrovespto

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

Physical Education (PE) Uniforms

The PE shirts and shorts sold through Twin Groves PTO are the required uniform for all students to participate in PE. Sweatshirts and sweatpants are optional. Locks for gym lockers are required but do not have to be purchased through the PTO. Pre-order, including bundle discounts, closes the morning of August 14th. All Pre-Orders will be available for pick-up at Locker Setup Day on Wednesday, August 14, 4:00-5:30pm.

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.

If you don’t pre-order, computers will be set up in the gym/cafeteria for you to use. 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 bring a check to avoid additional delays. We are unable to accept cash.
