News: Learn Spanish or French After School!
|
|
Did you know that learning languages
helps increase listening ability, memory, creativity and critical
thinking? In addition to developing these thinking skills, foreign language study
exposes children to other ways of looking at the world.
The Coles PTA is pleased to offer after-school Elementary Foreign Language Programs this year. In the initial offering, students in grades 2-5 may choose from French, Spanish or may opt to be exposed to both languages.
The program cost to cover teacher and materials expenses for 15 weekly classes will be $90. Classes will start the week of November 17, 2009 and will run through the end of March, 2009. The PTA will review any requests for scholarships or payment plans where necessary in order to help ensure that no student is unnecessarily denied this opportunity. The program schedule is as follows:
Introduction to French
- Tuesdays, 3:45-4:30 p.m., Grades 2-3
- Thursdays, 3:45-4:30 p.m., Grades 4-5
Introduction to Spanish
- Tuesdays, 3:45-4:30 p.m., Grades 4-5
- Thursdays, 3:45-4:30 p.m., Grades 2-3
Registration is due by Wednesday, November 13, and materials are available online in the PTA Dowload Archive. For questions or additional information, please contact Angela Carey at careyax@pwcs.edu.

News: SchoolKidz Merchandise Now Available for Order Online
|
|
The Coles PTA is already helping you plan for the 2008-09 school year!
We have once again partnered with the SchoolKidz, Inc to provide teacher-tailored back-to-school supply kits for next year. The supply kits offer brand name items chosen by the teachers at Coles Elementary to exactly match your child's supply list.
In addition, SchoolKidz is also offering backpacks and stretchable book covers that may be added on to your order.
This is not a fundraiser, and Coles does not receive any portion of the sales price, however, we have decided to offer this program as a service to the students and parents of our school.
Orders may be placed online and must be completed no later than June 11, 2008. Supply Kits will be available for pick-up during classroom orientation in the fall or will be delivered directly to your child on the first day of school.

News: Help Your Child. Join the PTA!
|
|
Today more than ever, our school is challenged to provide every child
with the best education. Budgets are tight while government
requirements are growing, and all schools are challenged to do more with less.
Over 97% of funds raised by the Coles PTA are invested in direct support of the Coles Elementary community, and this year joining the Coles PTA is easier than ever! The cost is $10.00 per family of up to two adults and their children, and you can sign up and pay online on the Coles PTA Web site in minutes.
More than 30 years of research has proven that children do better
when their parents are involved both at home and in school. Grades are
higher. Test scores rise. Self-esteem grows. Schools improve. You know the benefits and want to make a difference, but how
can you be more actively involved? It’s simple—Join the Coles PTA.

The updated Coles PTA Committe member list for 2007-08 is available online here.
Thank you to the many parents who have offered to give some of their time to help make Coles an even better place this year!
We always have room for more people, but are particularly in need this year of people who can help with family nights or academic support. There is also a need for help with community relations, much of which can be done at home in your spare time.
If you are able to help this year, please contact us at colespta@colespta.org!

News: ANNOUNCING: Coles PTA Reorganization!
|
|
Do you feel uncomfortable about joining a PTA Board?
Wish you could help plan an event without being committed for the entire year?
Wish you knew how much time was needed BEFORE you said yes?
The current Coles PTA board recognizes and respects that all of our parents are operating under time constraints. For that reason, the PTA at Coles will be transitioning during 2007-08 from a relatively small group of dedicated directors to a set of four committees:
- Family Events
- Community Relations
- Academic Support
- Ways & Means
Each will have a specific area of focus and will be coordinated by a small executive board.
