Hello Volunteers,
The end of the school year is approaching fast. The PTA thrives because of our parents, teachers, and volunteers. Thank you for making a difference in our school communities. A huge thank you to everyone who participated in and supported the Reflections contest and ceremony! Here are some upcoming events and important updates you need to know this month.
The 2025 DCCPTA Presidents and Principals luncheon is on May 23rd. This will be a wonderful event and end of the year award ceremony to acknowledge you for all the hard work that you’ve done during the school year. Who will win Local Unit of the Year? Come enjoy the luncheon and find out! You can purchase tickets to the event using this link. Does your PTA have extra funds and would like to give back to another local unit? You can sponsor a seat at the luncheon by contacting localunits@dccpta.org.
DCPS school health services which administers the hearing and vision screenings will have a box for used eyeglasses to donate at the Presidents and Principals luncheon. Please bring any eyeglasses you wish to donate as well as any donations to the eyeglass fund that you would like to give to the event. This will help to continue the great work of identifying and providing
students with needed eyeglasses.
Local Units
Local units who have not submitted officers for the 24-25 or have had elections and need to put in new officers for the 2025-2026 year please do so in Givebacks instead of the FLPTA form online. There has been a change to how officer updates will be done. You no longer need to complete the New & Returning Officers Form — in the future, officer updates will be handled exclusively through Givebacks.
Click here for instructions on how to upload your new officers.
If you have already submitted officers for 24-25 and just need to make a change, you can do so in Givebacks as well.
Have you had elections yet? Here are some helpful resources to make sure they run smoothly yet?
