On behalf of the Palm Crest PTA, it is my pleasure to welcome all returning and new families to another great year at Palm Crest Elementary.   I'm positive it's going to be a year full of learning, growing and great memories! 

Please join us on the first day of school, Monday, August 29, at 8:10 am in the Multi-Purpose Room (MPR) for the traditional Welcome Back to School coffee and continental breakfast sponsored by the PCR PTA.  At this time, there will be opportunities for you to sign up to volunteer in the classroom, library, computer room, at school social events and fundraising events, and so much more.  There are also plenty of opportunities for working parents to sign up to volunteer!  Please stay for our first PTA meeting, scheduled to begin at 8:15.  It's a quick meeting and a great time for you to learn all about the great things your PCR PTA does for your students and for your school.   

We will once again be offering the on-line only "one click order form."  (OCOF) This form will be available at our website www.palmcrest.org after the PTA meeting on the first day of school.  With this form you'll be able to order everything from yearbooks, panther wear, back to school picnic meals, donate to the school and so much more.  Please look for an information sheet in your child's backpack on the first day of school.

I'm excited that our first Round Table pizza night is next week!  Come join your school friends at Round Table on Foothill Blvd on Thursday night, September 1, starting at 5pm.  Our lovely office staff is set to deliver the pizzas to your tables.  If you can't stay to eat, take out and delivery count for our fundraising goals.  Please no coupons!  

The always popular Back to School picnic is scheduled for Friday, September 16 on the PCR playground at 5pm.  This is a great time to reconnect with old friends or make new friends.  To make it easy, you can purchase meals on the OCOF or bring your own picnic lunch.  

If you plan to volunteer in the classroom, a current TB test must be on file in the school office.  Verdugo Hills Hospital offers complimentary TB testing to LCUSD parents. Dates for testing are September 13 & 20 from 10am - noon.  You will need to return 2 days later to have the test read.

Palm Crest is Best!
