Support Our…. School, Students, Teachers, TES Community!

 
We know--Tuckahoe families are busy! We want to save you time and effort but need your help. No Frills is our no-fuss fall appeal to raise the funds needed to establish a solid foundation for the 2023-2024 PTA budget. No selling, no doing, no going anywhere--- just follow this link or leave a check made out to the Tuckahoe PTA in the front office. 
 
We are encouraging 100% participation from Tuckahoe families! No amount is too small to help meet the $10,000 No Frills goal which supports things like those beloved field trips, extra grade level activities, teacher grants and fun community events. 
 
Will you help us slide into the new school year with a splash? 
 
THANK YOU for showing your Slider spirit and making Tuckahoe the best school around!

Where Does the Money Go? 

 

The Tuckahoe PTA spends approximately $130 per child per year to cover:

 

  • Supporting Teachers - The PTA funds Teacher Grants (for innovative/creative instructional ideas), Teacher Training (eg Responsive Classroom), and Teacher Appreciation activities.

  • Enriching Student Learning - The PTA funds the Outdoor Classroom and Discovery Schoolyard, the Courtyard Pond, and supplies/materials for outdoor lessons.

  • Providing Extracurricular Opportunities - The PTA funds Grade-level activities (field trips, end of year celebrations), Library & Book funds, Visiting Authors, Odyssey of the Mind, Reflections, and coordinates the after school play and the Enrichment Program.

  • Building the Community - The PTA funds social activities to bring families together, supports the broader community through volunteer opportunities, and provides support to the County Council of PTAs (CCPTA) and the Special Education PTA (SEPTA).

  • Advocating for Strong Educational Policies – The PTA is not just about events and activities, it supports the educational well-being of our students by engaging the school, county and other bodies on a variety of topics, including: Allergy Awareness, Equity and Inclusion, Learning Differences, Boundary Refinement, and the Advisory Council on Teaching and Learning (ACTL). In addition, the PTA serves as a bridge for parents and the school by staying on top of pressing issues and serving as a collective voice to the school.
