For Sacajawea 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 $15 per year for individual membership. Joining the PTA is one big way of showing your support for your PTA and its mission. (Click here to join!) 

• ATTEND PTA MEETINGS virtually or in person, if you can. 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 admin@sacpta.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

• Our annual budget includes funds for classrooms, teams, departments, and other programs. In fact, the 2025-2026 budget includes increased budgeted amounts for many of these areas. If you're unsure what budgeted funds are available for your use: a copy of the PTA treasurer's reports is posted on a cabinet in the staff workroom for your reference. You can also email admin@sacpta.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.

• 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. Please submit receipts within 60 days of purchase. All reimbursement requests must be received before June 5th. 

​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 admin@sacpta.com

That's it! We'll process it and get a check to you as soon as possible. Note: If you turn in physical copies, it helps to send 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.
