What do we do?
We support students, teachers, and staff by providing aid for programs and events that help enrich our students' educational experience. Some of the activities we do are:
  • Fund field trips and assemblies
  • Celebrate our teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week
  • Host Trunk or Treat, Field Day, support Family Fun Night, and more.

How can you support us?

Become a Member: Membership applications are sent out on Class Dojo at the beginning of each school year, but you can join at any time by contacting any board member. Our PTA meetings will be held on the second Tuesday of each month, virtually.

  • Meetings in September, February, and May will be held in person in the school cafeteria.
Participate: The PTA relies on fundraising and donations to support our students, teachers and staff. All of the fun activities and events that students and families enjoy are only possible with your support. Some easy was to support us are:
 
  • Volunteer: Not all support needs to be financial. Giving your time is just as, if not more, important. The PTA is a volunteer organization and we need the help of parents and community members to be successful. For more information on how to become a volunteer and other ways to support the PTA please see our Facebook page, Class Dojo, or contact any board member or Arlington staff member. 
    • To volunteer inside the school building or on field trips, please contact the school to obtain the necessary clearances. Clearance reimbursement will be made available pending the submission of the reimbursement form with receipts.
  • Fundraisers: Students will bring home flyers and pamphlets regarding fundraisers that help provide necessary funds to support field trips, assemblies, and student activities. So, take them to work, family dinners or other gatherings you attend. Every little bit counts and is always appreciated, no matter how big or small. 
  • Donate: If you aren’t comfortable fundraising and are unable to give your time, you can use our Amazon Page Amazon Wishlist to purchase items that our school, teachers, and students need. 
  • Shopping: You can help fund us with your regular grocery shopping! By submitting Weis receipts and Box Tops, you can help us fundraise without any additional effort on your part. Box Tops can be collected via the Box Top App and Weis receipts can be linked to the school online via your Weis account, dropped off in the school lobby receipt bin, or sent in with your student.
