Have you gotten into the school-year groove yet? With just one week under our belts, we’ll get there! 🧡🐯

PTO membership has already crushed our goal and surpassed last year’s total! And the classrooms are duking it out for the most PTO members, with Ms. Thomas (2nd), Ms. Palmer (3rd), and Ms. Bowers (K) in the top 3 spots in our competition! Winning class(es) get freeze pops for the kids and duty relief for the teacher.

But here’s the catch: nearly half of our members haven’t submitted their teacher assignments yet. Your kids need you to win! Take a minute to fill out the quick teacher assignment form so your membership counts toward their classroom.

The first 60 days of school are jam-packed with activities, so mark your calendars now. Here is a roadmap so that you don’t miss a thing! We can’t wait to see you soon!

🎃 Help Us Make Fall Fest Amazing! 🍂

Fall Fest is one of our favorite CSPES traditions, and we need a few amazing parent volunteers to help lead some of the activities that make the day so much fun!

Being a Fall Fest Lead does NOT mean doing it all yourself! Leads will take ownership of planning and coordinating their area, work with the PTO on purchases and logistics, and let us know how many volunteers they need for setup and the day of the event. We’ll support you along the way!

The hallways are buzzing, backpacks are packed, and it's officially time to show your Tiger Pride! Whether it's First Friday Spirit Days, school events, PTO activities, or cheering on our Tigers all year long, there's never been a better time to gear up.
