Blythe Park PTA Happenings 01/12/2021

Martha Ryan-Toye will be attending our next PTA Meeting to explain how the test works and answer any questions you may have regarding the saliva testing program. While this screening is not mandatory, we do believe that high levels of participation increase our overall sense of safety in the schools. We currently have approximately 50-65% of our students participating (with some variability between schools). If you have not already done so, please consider submitting a consent form and participating in this screening process.

We have attached the waiver for you to send to the school, should you want to be a part of this program. A zoom link to the meeting will be posted before Tuesday, January 17th, 2021.

Check out the cool Bulldog gear for kids and families. Time to show off your Blythe Park Pride. Check out our order page for more cool stuff!

We've got to get your gear to you – That means additional orders will NOT be accepted after the sales deadline of Friday, January 22nd.

The PTA Executive Board is looking for volunteers to fill the two general member and one alternate general member slots on the Nominating Committee.

The Nominating Committee will develop the slate of candidates for the 2021-2022 PTA Executive Board. The proposed slate will be presented at the March PTA Meeting, then voted on during the April meeting.

If interested, please contact Julie Avina at blytheparkpta@yahoo.com

Thank you to all the families who donated to the 2020 Teacher holiday fund. Our teachers and staff members were taken aback by all of your kindness during this difficult time. All of the staff was given Amazon gift cards.

Any student at Blythe Park may participate. We encourage you to take advantage of this program while it is offered through June.

As of September 1, 2020, the USDA announced all children under 19 years of age are eligible for free meals. Good News!
The USDA announced that it will extend serving free meals to all children through June 30th, 2021.

Lunch will be available for pickup at dismissal at every school. In addition, district-wide lunch pick-up is at Hauser Junior High, outside door number 5 between 10:00 am and 2:30 pm. (walk-up site only, no cars). We encourage families to sign up for lunch. The district developed a sign-up sheet with days listed two weeks in advance. Signing up for lunch will help the logistics of the program.
