STUDENT DIRECTORY SUPPLEMENT
| |
The Pinchbeck PTA published its annual Student Directory in mid-November. Since the beginning of the school year, some students have joined the Pinchbeck community and others have moved or changed phone numbers or e-mail addresses. In order to ensure that everyone has the most up to date information we would like to issue a supplement to the directory. Everyone who had previously purchased a directory will receive the supplement.
If you would like to add your child's information to the directory or make any changes to your contact information please complete the form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1yN7zr9fsTjXFhI8p3VPBm2Z0qGSqcPbLY85yCc7apog/viewform by Friday, February 14.
There are still additional copies of the directory available. If you had not previously purchased one and would like to purchase one, please print the form HERE and send it in along with $5.00 for each copy. Checks should be made payable to Pinchbeck PTA. The directory is a great resource to have during the school year as well as over the summer to stay in touch with friends.
Call Amy Gregory at 740-7488 or e-mail at spider1988@verizon.net with any questions.
