Families

Can’t find something?

Our hope for The Clifton School is to cultivate a community full of wonder, dreams and possibilities: a unique place where we value diversity and progressive education based on research.

The Clifton School PTA

PTA membership is open to all parents and guardians. We encourage you to join in and attend meetings, which occur quarterly. Meetings will be announced via email and posted on this website.  For any questions, please feel free to email: cliftonschoolpta@gmail.com

Want to help?  The PTA needs you!  Have you ever wondered how you can help your child’s classroom teachers?  Do you want to help make The Clifton School an even better place for our children to grow and learn?  Are you jealous of all the fun your kids have at school (“Water Play Day” does sound like a lot of fun)?  If you answered ‘Yes’ to any of these questions, please consider volunteering!

  • Be a Room Representative! Being a room representative is one of the easiest ways to get involved. We HIGHLY recommend having two or more room representatives to help share the love. If you’d like to volunteer, please Sign Up Here.
  • Contribute to the Staff and Teacher Appreciation Campaign: STAC is an annual event that allows families to generously thank all Clifton School teachers (both part and full-time) and non-administrative staff for their daily dedication to the loving care and enrichment of our children. Each fall, money is raised from voluntary donations given by parents that is pooled and distributed as an end-of-calendar-year gift. This is an easy and anonymous way to make sure all our teachers and staff are recognized.
  • Make our Spring Auction a Success! Each Spring the Clifton School PTA hosts an auction to raise funds to support school improvements. The auction is a wonderful event with hand-made art contributed by the students up for the live auction, a silent auction of themed baskets filled with donated items,  delicious food, drinks, music, dancing, and fun. The 2016 Auction raised over $8,000 for the Clifton School. Click here to see photos from the 2016 auction.

The PTA is excited to announce that this year’s Staff and Teacher Appreciation Campaign (STAC) is just around the corner, and we appreciate your contributions to make the holidays special for our amazing TCS staff.

 

WHAT IS STAC? 

STAC is our annual online drive to generate monetary gifts at the holidays for The Clifton School staff and teachers! The drive runs from November 17 through December 5th. During this time, families from both campuses are encouraged to contribute to STAC as a way to show appreciation for the hard-working individuals who provide care for our children every day!

 

At the conclusion of STAC, all donations are added up and divided equally among Clifton School staff and teachers. Part-time employees will receive a prorated amount. Members of the Clifton School Administration do not receive STAC funds, which means your dollars go directly into the pockets of staff and teachers!

 

Please note that the Administration does not give extra monetary compensation to its employees due to the school’s non-profit status and as such, the amount of this year’s staff and teacher holiday gift depends entirely on our community’s contributions to STAC! 

 

WHO SHOULD CONTRIBUTE?

You, a family member, a grandparent, a kind benefactor – anybody is invited to contribute to the STAC campaign!

 

HOW DO I CONTRIBUTE?

Several ways – including our fundraising website, Zelle, and check. Look out for flyers around the daycare and our email on November 17th with the LINK and other details

 

Thank you for coming to Harvest Festival!

 

Our fall fundraiser was a huge success, thanks in large part to our AMAZING Room Representatives, TCS staff and all of you in our TCS Community who came out to participate.

 

With funds raised from the event, we’ve been able to pay our deposit to book CITY WINERY for this year’s Art Auction!! (SAVE THE DATE – MARCH 21st)

 

Most importantly, these opportunities provide great memories and community-building, which feels so needed this year. Check out amazing pictures from the event here – and thanks to Ms Marilyn for taking these!
