FCCPTA is please to introduce J. David M. Rozsa, CAE, ACA as our newly appointed Reflections Chair.   David is currently the Reflection Chair at Churchill Road Elementary School.  He has a clear understanding of the program and will be able to help you out during these final days before you turn-in your student works.  Please join FCCPTA in thanking David for stepping forward.

During the past few months, the reflections@fccpta.org email address was non-responsive.  Please know that David is now monitoring this address and is available to answer your questions.

Each year, FCCPTA receives approximately 600 works of art.  We need your help in making this turn-in process smooth.  New this year, you will be required to enter your student works into a spread sheet at the time you turn in the works, make sure ALL information is on the Student Entry Form, and fill out identification labels for each work.  We ask you to understand we are still in the process of trying to simplify the process on the turn-in date.  Every effort will be made to work with you.

The turn-in process will probably take 30+minutes.  Please plan to allow for this time when making the decision on your arrival time to Gatehouse.  It is highly suggested you arrive at Gatehouse no later than 7:30 PM for processing of your works.  We have a very short turn-around time to get the works to judges this year and your help is requested in working through this process.
