All NEW and RETURNING families will need to attend.

Happy Summer!

We are excited to announce this year's NEW ONLINE VANDERLYN TOOLKIT!

This will expedite on-site registration and, for the first time, allow you to register and meet your teacher all in one day! There are no grade-level assigned times this year, so you may come in on August 6 for Registration and Meet & Greet any time between 8 am and 1 pm.

Plan ahead for Registration and Meet & Greet on August 6 and be prepared!

What can you do now?

Here are THREE THINGS you need to check off your list:

1. Go to the NEW VANDERLYN TOOLKIT at VanderlynPTO.org to create your online account and complete the following:

Parent and student family information: All families need to enter their contact information (once entered, it will be saved for the directory)
Your directory and publishing preferences

2. Fill out the remaining online forms to complete your PTO registration and pay for your student's items NOW with a credit card or via Paypal, saving you time on registration day! (New this year: No credit card fees!)

Student Fees: Includes classroom dues, field trip fees, agendas (Grades 2-5 only), and field day t-shirts.
2014-15 PTO Membership Form: Joining the PTO provides you an active voice to support your child's school, the best way to stay connected with what's going on at Vanderlyn, exclusive access to our new ONLINE DIRECTORY, and many more benefits.
Annual Fund Form: Support the Vanderlyn "One Check, One Time" academic enhancement fund, which provides support to Vanderlyn's teachers and staff and allows for richer experiences for our students.
Yearbook: Order your yearbook now for delivery at the end of the school year.

3. Sign up for Volunteer Opportunities: Getting involved at Vanderlyn helps us continue to be a School of Excellence and keeps you "in the know" about what's going on at your school. Join our great group of volunteers!

Once you have completed these forms, you will get a FASTPASS to print and bring to Registration/Meet & Greet on August 6. Do not forget to bring your FASTPASS!

Please note: PTO registration does not mean you are a member of PTO. Membership is optional (but recommended), but completing the online registration forms is required, whether you do it prior to August 6 or not. If you do not complete online registration early, you will need to complete it on a computer in the Media Center when you arrive, before you gain access to meet your child's teacher. THIS WILL INCREASE YOUR WAIT TIME.

See you on Wednesday, August 6 between 8 am and 1 pm!
