Back-to-school Meeting

The PTO will hold a virtual back-to-school meeting on Monday, August 10 at 5 p.m.. To attend the meeting, email sarah@twinpeakspto.org and Sarah will send you the Zoom link. We have lots to discuss and plan. Understandably, a few parents have had to step away, and we need new parents to step up and carry the baton. Our teachers need us more than ever, and you are just the right person for the job! Even if you can't attend the meeting, please email Sarah to let us know how you can help. We look forward to seeing you on Monday via Zoom.

Upcoming EVENTS

Smart-E Pants

The first Friday of each month is Smart-E Pants Day! Students bring $1 to wear pants or skirt of your choice, with a uniform top. These $1 donations go towards technology upgrades for our classrooms!

*Elementary can wear any kind of pants, shorts, or skirt (no sweats or pj pants); middle school can wear any denim shorts, pants or skirts.

Skirts and shorts must still come to the students finger tips with arms at their side.

Annual EVENTS

TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK

Help us thank our outstanding teachers and staff!

Wish List

Many of our teachers have notified us of items they could really use, which are currently above and beyond our PTO budget. Rather than let these needs go unmet, we'd like to make them available for TPCA families to fulfill on an ongoing basis. The Amazon list will be updated as needs arise throughout the year. Some are very small and others may be larger amounts. Visit the wish list to view the wishes and purchase items.

GET INVOLVED

Spiritwear Store

The new Timberwolves spiritwear store is up and running! The TPCA dress code now allows students to wear TPCA spiritwear any day of the week. Purchase t-shirts, long sleeve shirts, and hoodies here. Visit the spiritwear store

PTO Email Updates

Sign up here to join the PTO email list. Starting this fall we will send out email updates about upcoming fundraisers, volunteer opportunities, and community events.

Log Volunteer Hours

Please help us keep an accurate yearly total, by logging your volunteer hours. Each month we we will do a drawing for the PTO parking space. Enter your hours to win the super convenient parking space for a month or a local gift card! Records of our excellent parent involvement may help us qualify for grants and also encourage community support. Thank you!

**All TPCA families are asked to volunteer 10 hours per year. If you are short on time, each $10 donation of food or supplies also counts as 1 hour of time. Thank you for your support of TPCA!!**

Ongoing Fundraisers

AFW Rewards Program

We are excited to announce that we now have an awards program set up with American Furniture Warehouse. Your purchases will now benefit our school, when you mention Twin Peaks Charter Academy at your next furniture purchase! Please be sure to spread the word to friends and family as well.

Boxtops

Boxtops add up and with our boxtops money we are able to earn books for the school library and sports equipment for classes to use at recess! Turn in box tops to your child's classroom teacher.

Milk caps for Moo-La

Bring your Longmont Dairy milk caps to the school offices so we can earn money for our school!

King Soopers Rewards Program

If you have a King Soopers loyalty card you can earn money for our TPCA teacher's appreciation fund every time you shop. You no longer need to load a gift card to support the school, you only need a "Sooper Card."

It's Sooper easy! Take 5 seconds to start earning money for Twin Peaks:

Login to your account at kingsoopers.com or citymarket.com.
Click on "Community Rewards" and type in HX413 (or search for Twin Peaks Charter Academy)
Click enroll. Done!

The best part of the new program is that you can watch your donations to the school add up. King Sooper's donates 5% of your purchases every time you scan your loyalty card! Thank you for supporting TPCA while you shop!

PTO FAQ

How do I get involved?

There's something for everyone! Every parent can and should have a hand in making this a great year for all our students. Sign up to receive email updates, join the parent Facebook group, click on a sign-up link above, attend a monthly meeting, or email us for more info or to share your ideas.

What are the funds used for?

With the funds we raise, the PTO is able to provide free events throughout the year to promote school community. Additionally, money raised through the Trot and Silent Auction cover the cost of field trip transportation and help us reimburse teachers for some classroom supplies. We also use funds raised for special projects, like water bottle filling stations, playground shade, or a new piano for the music room.

Why should I track my volunteer hours?

All volunteers will be entered in a monthly drawing for a gift card or special parking spot! We also like to show how involved our parents and guardians are in our school, and a written record of volunteer time and involvement is important to have when we are applying for educational and non-profit grants. Your hours are not published and are only used for these purposes. Thank you for taking time to log them!
