Carpenter Elementary PTA is here to support and enhance your child(ren)'s educational experiences. By coordinating events, activities and special programs, we are able to make this such an outstanding school. All of our students benefit from parents who support or become involved with these activities and programs!  In addition to the Carpenter PTA, you will also become a member of the NC PTA.

If I join the PTA, do I have to volunteer?
NO, you DO NOT have to volunteer to become a PTA member!

Do we need to join again if we were members last school year?
YES, PTA membership is good for one school year and must be renewed annually.

As a grandparent, can I join and make an additional donation and is it tax deductible?
YES, Membership is open to anyone who would like to support the Parent Teacher Association mission.  Carpenter Elementary PTA is a non Profit 501(c)(3), and your Membership and donation is Tax Deductible!  Please contact <treasurer@carpenterpta.net> if you need any documentation.

2018-2019 Yearbooks have arrived and will be delivered to the classrooms!

If you did not pre-order a yearbook or would like an additional copy, softcover copies are $22 each.  Yearbooks can be purchased on Friday mornings 8:45-9:15am or ordered here online and delivered to your student's classroom (while supplies last) or for Track 1 students, picked up from the front office.  Hardcover copies are no longer available. 

Field Day for Track 1 will be Friday May 31st.  Coach Finch is in need of parent volunteers to help run each station.  You can sign up here:  signupgenius.com/go/4090945A5A623A3FC1-track6.

Our final PTA meeting of the year will be Tuesday, May 14th at 6:00.  At this meeting members will vote to install Board Officers for 2019-2020, as well as vote to approve next year's budget.  The proposed slate of officers is as follows:

President:  Bekah Lu
Vice President:  Amy Munn
Secretary:  Joe Nicke, Jr.
Treasurer:  Wendy Chen

In addition, we're currently looking for parents to volunteer for next year's PTA. Some of our activities and programs get started right at the beginning of the year so we'd love to connect with interested parents now to get them ready!  Our most pressing needs are for:

• Cultural Arts Committee
• Art Reflections
• Camp Chameleon

If you'd like to help or need more info, see the Volunteer Page.

At Carpenter we love our teachers and look forward to Teacher Appreciation Week every year!  This is the perfect time for parents and kids to thank their teachers for the hard work they've put in all year.  Our teachers take care of our children every day, now let's take care of them!  Below is this year's PTA theme with suggestions on what to do each day (if you'd like to participate), but of course we invite parents to show gratitude in any way you wish.  And don't forget about our Support Staff Members, such as specials teachers, cafeteria and office staff, and administrators--these folks serve all students every day. To view the list of class assignments for Support Staff Member as noted for Tuesday, visit bit.ly/class-assignments.

The PTA is planning special treats for teachers and staff all week long.  If you'd like to help by donating supplies or an hour of your time, please visit our signup: signupgenius.com/go/409094eacae2aa57-teacher2.
