A Brief Interlude of Thanks
The Glenview PTA could not have done all this without everyone’s support and
contributions. We also want to acknowledge the many additional equally worthy
contributions made this year by many individuals at Glenview, including our Principal,
teachers, staff, students and family members, and all their efforts to provide the best
possible school experience are most appreciated.
The Glenview PTA looks forward to working together with all of you this upcoming year!

Become a PTA member
You can join the PTA at any time during the school year. You can become a member or
an enrollee. To become a member, all you need to do is fill out a simple form and pay a
$5 for yearly membership dues. As a member, you have voting privileges at PTA
meetings. You can also become an enrollee. There is no charge for being an enrollee,
and you have access to the same meetings and information. However, as an enrollee,
you would not be able to vote at PTA meeting.
When you decide to join the PTA (either as a member or enrollee), you can be involved
in so many different ways. We know that parents are busy people! Whether it's
attending a meeting, serving salad at the spaghetti dinner, or joining a PTA committee,
your time and effort is highly valued. Whatever your level of involvement, your PTA
involvement helps to make Glenview a better school. To become a PTA member or
enrollee, contact glenviewpta@yahoo.com.

| Important Information About Volunteering at School The Family-School Partnership Act (Assembly Bill 2590) allows employees to use: “vacation, personal leave, comp time or time without pay to participate in their children’s school- related activities. The law covers employers with 25 or more workers at the same location, and it applies to parents, grandparents and guardians. These persons are allowed to use up to 40 hours a school year to conduct school-related business. However, employers may request verification of the nature of the school activity.” |
