Notice to all 5th Grade parents!!! (Important information)

Hello 5th Grade Parents,
 
If your child will be attending Coleman in the fall now is your opportunity to get involved for next year!  Please go to colemanptsa.membershiptoolkit.com  
and register.  After registering, Click on My forms/paperwork from the Drop down menu and then click family information. You will need to add your child and please make sure to mark them as a 5th grader so they will automatically be moved up in the summer. You can then go to calendar subscriptions where you can subscribe to the Coleman Chronicle which is similar to the Roosevelt Charge but only comes out 1-2 times per month. 
 
There are not too many volunteer opportunities available so if you would like to get involved,   Coleman is currently recruiting for their executive board positions which are listed below. Please click the link to fill out the form if you are interested. We are looking for all positions but particularly a Treasurer. The commitment is much smaller in middle school along with a much smaller budget to manage. We utilize Quickbooks for the accounting software which is very user friendly and many of the volunteers work full time so the time commitment is minimal. Willingness to Serve forms for the Board will be sent out in April along with all pertinent information such as Camp Cobra etc for incoming Middle School families.
