Dallin PTO

Staying Connected and Helping Out

At our last PTO meeting, families generated some new ideas for ways to keep connected with each other.

First, we’re launching a community bulletin board (using jamboard) for families to ask questions of other Dallin families, share events, or  post something you’re “in search of”. We realize that some families use social media for this purpose, but other families do not, so this will offer a new way to connect.  Checking back frequently and responding to other families’ posts will increase its usefulness so please give it a try!

Second, we’ve created a virtual suggestion box in case you have ideas or thoughts to share.

Also, don’t forget to-

Finally, we’ve generated lots of great community-building ideas (e.g., scavenger hunts, game nights, clubs, etc.), but we are really struggling to find enough volunteers to get new ideas off the ground.  Can you spare a small amount of time to help out with a community-building event?  Please send an email to dallinptoboard@gmail.com.

Additional Opportunities to Volunteer

Dallin PTO

Welcome to Dallin School!

We are excited to reconnect with the Dallin community for the 2020-2021 school year!  

By having a child at the Dallin School, you are automatically a member of the Dallin Parent Teacher Organization (PTO).

This will be a year like no other, and the Dallin PTO Board and committee chairs have already started discussions of how best to meet our mission during this unique year. We plan to continue to provide financial and organizational support for enrichment activities to supplement the curriculum, sponsor community-building events, and provide supplemental financial support to teachers and staff so they can best serve our students. Whether your child will be a hybrid or remote student, our goal is to support the whole Dallin community. 

Stay Informed

Dallin official information is emailed to registered families using the e-mail address they provided at registration. You can also subscribe to our newsletter or follow us on Facebook and Twitter. More information about ways to stay informed is available here.

With kids coming to school on different days or learning remotely full-time, the Dallin Directory will be a key resource for staying connected to other families. The Directory is online and you can access it on the web or through an app. The school directory is distributed only to the Dallin community. Register or update your information here.

Volunteer Opportunities

Typically, Dallin PTO has a variety of ways to volunteer, whether you want to do hands-on organizing of an event or stay behind the scenes sending some emails – you’re encouraged to volunteer to your comfort level!

PTO Meetings

We usually meet the first Wednesdays of the month September through May. We plan to start the year with virtual meetings.

Dallin Staff Appreciation Week

Monday, May 7 starts Dallin’s Teacher Appreciation Week. Take a moment to remind your child to say thank you to the teachers and staff that make his/her day(s) at Dallin more meaningful. Take a moment yourself to say a kind work of gratitude at drop off, pick up or at volunteer time. It will mean the world to them to know that their tireless efforts make a difference.

We have a full week planned to show our teachers how much we care about them. So many of you parents have already signed up or volunteered to help out next week – thank you! We couldn’t do this without your efforts! If you haven’t yet had the chance to sign up or ‘raise your hand’ to volunteer, here are a couple of last minute requests:

    1. 1. We need more food items, especially for the luncheon! The luncheon is a well-loved tradition for our teachers and staff and we want to make it as delicious and plentiful as we can. We always can use more food! If a slot is filled—we’d still love to have your homemade or store-bought breakfast item, lunch item, or treat! Please keep food peanut free. Please provide a label that highlights major allergens (i.e., dairy, egg, gluten, etc.) as well as the name of the item. We also need more food for each breakfast, the snacks, and the cookie buffet. Please Sign-Up to Volunteer Here.

 

    1. 2. Check-in with your child’s room parents to see if luncheon coverage is still needed on Thursday, May 10, if you are able to help. We also will need help for covering the specialists slots, Please either ask your room parent or contact us if you are willing to help.

 

      1. 3. Finally, on Friday, May 11, students should bring in homemade cards, pictures, poems, etc. and give them to their teacher. Feel free to encourage them to make something for their favorite /staff/specialist if they feel inclined. We will be providing each staff member, teacher and specialist a gift each day.

 

Thank you for helping us make this year’s Teacher Appreciation Week a success!
