Welcome all new Bobcats!!!

  

 

Greetings new Kindergarten families! We are SO excited that you will be joining us here at Clara Barton Elementary this coming fall.  We have a few things to tell you about our organization.  First a few to do list items ~

 

To do list:

  1. Create an account on our website so you can start receiving communications from the PTSA.  Our website is the only place to sign up for Before and After School Classes, purchase yearbooks and more throughout the year, so get signed up now!
    • The Bobcat Bulletin comes out 1 to 2 times a month and is a wealth of information for families.
    • We'll create a group page for all new kinder parents so you can all start getting to know each other.
    • We'll also have a couple of kinder playdates this summer at the school so you can start connecting in person.
    • Download the app!  Membership Toolkit and login with your credentials that you create on our website.
  2. Join the PTSA! Becoming a member has no obligation for volunteering or attending meetings, but it does give you the option to decide how the Clara Barton PTSA supports the school and spends funds.
  3. Get approved by LWSD to be a volunteer!! Every parent who comes into contact with the kids as a volunteer needs to be approved through a quick background check with Lake Washington School District. This is a great thing to do this summer so you're ready to go in the fall.  It only takes about five minutes to fill out the application.
  4. Consider reaching out to the PTSA if you'd like to get involved. We have several co-chair or shadow positions where you can learn from a veteran, this is a great way to get to know people at the school - we have jobs big and small.
  5. Join the PTSA Facebook Page
  6. Consider buying some Spiritwear so your little Bobcat is ready to start school with gear all set. There will be a fall sale in mid to late August.
