NEWS to KNOW
🏖️☀️  Keeping it short when we're wearing shorts.  🩳 😎

We know it's still summer break (hurray!) but the school year is fast upon us and the planning has begun! There's lots to talk about for the upcoming school year, and we would LOVE for you to join us to find out what we're planning and how you can help.

• Join us in-person or online

• Meeting length: 1 hour

• All Merton parents, teachers, and staff are invited to participate, no RSVP required!

The agenda can be found here the Sunday before meeting. Meeting Minutes are posted here.

Ideas for new PTO programming are always welcome! Share with us at the meeting, on our Facebook page or via email: hello@mertonpto.org

PLEASE NOTE: 

Because each student’s needs vary, we weren’t able to create a “one size fits all” kit for each grade level. Some needed supplies (for electives, gym class, band, choir, optional donations, etc.) vary too much from student to student to be included in the standard kits.

We wanted to give you ample time to gather these things. To help you easily find the additional items your student may need, we’ve put together a list sorted by grade level that cross-references the school’s supply list. This breaks it down to specify the things you may still need to purchase, and, in the case of Intermediate students, what items from your purchased kit will need to be delivered to specific classrooms.

Help with Staff Lunch

We are looking for volunteers who would like to welcome our staff back from their summer breaks with delicious meal as part of the busy Open House day.

Opportunities:

• Volunteer your time with lunch set-up, which needs to be ready by 11:15AM.

PTO Info Tables
Thank you for taking a one hour shift which allows us all to spend some time with our kids as they visit their classrooms, meet their teachers, and take their photos for the new school year!

We'll have everything you need at the table.

Opportunities:

• 1-hour shifts at Primary and Intermediate from 12PM to 7PM.
