For Staff

Ways YOU can support a strong PTA partnership

• JOIN! While membership isn't required, we strongly encourage all staff members to join the PTA. 

It's easy to join and costs only $10 per year for a staff member. Joining the PTA is one big way of showing your support for your PTA and its mission. (Click here to join!) 

• ATTEND PTA MEETINGS, if you're able. If you're not able to attend, you can stay up-to-date by perusing the PTA Newsletter or PTA Meeting Minutes

• SEND US PICTURES! 

  • Do you have pictures of something you purchased with PTA funds? Send us a picture!

  • Do you have event pictures? Send them to us! They're useful as we fundraise, promote future events, and recruit members and volunteers.

  • Email pictures to sacpta3768@gmail.com

• MENTION THE PTA

  • If you're promoting an activity that uses PTA support, use the words "PTA-supported" or "with help from our PTA," etc. This helps provide context for the fundraisers coming families' way throughout the year. 

  • Mention PTA membership/participation to interested parents during conferences

As always, thank you so much for your support!

Ways WE can support you

Communication | Budgeted Funds | Unbudgeted Funds | Reimbursement

• To communicate your event on the PTA's website, social media (Facebook/Instagram), and/or PTA newsletter, email information to jenniferwynnarnp@gmail.com and provide as many details as possible. 

• The deadline for PTA newsletter submission is the 2nd-to-last Wednesday of each month (Publication will go home in Friday folders during the last week of the month)

• Club and sports schedules: Send us your schedules, and include us when making schedule updates. Moving forward, we'll include club schedules on our Calendar and will feature a Clubs page on our website with basic information. 

• Our annual budget typically includes funds for classrooms, teams, departments, and other programs.  Email us at sacpta@yahoo.com to find out more. 

• When using PTA funds, please acknowledge PTA's sponsorship of your project. It is a powerful form of advertising that can ripple out into greater participation of families in membership, volunteering, and fundraising. Thank you!

• Download the Unbudgeted Funds Request Form. You can find physical copies in a pocket folder on the Sacajawea workroom cabinet doors.

• Please note that Unbudgeted Funds Requests can only be approved at a General Membership Meeting that meets Quorum (at least 10 members). 

• Please submit a couple of weeks before the meeting.

• You must use your budgeted funds first and have already been denied additional funding by the district.

• The principal needs to sign your request, indicating approval. 

• You should plan to attend the meeting to present your request.  If this is not possible, let us know and we can present it for you.

1. Download the Expense Report/Check Request Form. You can find physical copies in a pocket folder on the Sacajawea workroom cabinet doors.

2. Fill it out and attach the necessary receipts/invoices/purchase orders.  

​3. Submit the paperwork. ​There are two ways to do this:

​Physical Copies:  Turn in your paperwork to the PTA drawer in the workroom at Sacajawea.

 OR  

Digital Copies:  Scan or photograph everything and email it to sacpta@yahoo.com.

That's it! We'll process it and send a check out as soon as possible. Note: If turning in physical copies, please also send us an email to let us know it's at school and needs processing. We'll need two officers' signatures on each check before distributing them to you.
