Directory Update!

9/30/2020

0 Comments

 
​It’s Time to Update Your Membership Toolkit Account!
It’s the beginning of a new school year, which means that it is time to update your information in our school directory, Membership Toolkit! This process is quick and easy, gives you access to the online directory, and ensures that you will receive communication from the PTA all year long.  Simply log into your Membership Toolkit account and follow the prompts to update your family information and publishing preferences.  

Are you new to Trailwood Elementary or still need to create an account? 
Just follow the steps below.

- Go to http://www.trailwoodptaop.membershiptoolkit.com.

- Click on the Register/Login button and please log in with the email address you supplied when registering your child(ren) for school.

- Select Create Account and fill in your name, email and password information.  

- Click on Verify My Email and then check your email for a link to complete the process. The link expires in two hours.  If you do not receive the email, please check your spam or junk folders.

- Log back in and update the Parent/Family and Student Information and Directory/Publish Preferences, once you have verified your email address. 
*Please note that if you are new to Trailwood Elementary, your data is not automatically published in the directory.  You will need to edit this in order to make your information visible!

- Determine if you wish to invite another email address to access the primary account. This allows the secondary user to have his or her own login information, but still have access to the family account.

-If you’d like, feel free to download the free Membership Toolkit App! Visit the App Store or Google Play Store and search for Membership Toolkit.  Download the App, and then log in with the same username and password you used online.  You can then control what notifications you receive and how you receive them within the App. Just tap the Settings Wheel at the top right, go to Communication Settings and specify your preferences.

Please contact Cara Peterson at caraelizabeth1@yahoo.com with any questions.

While you’re updating your information in Membership Toolkit, please consider purchasing a PTA membership for the 2020-2021 school year!  Becoming a member doesn’t obligate you to attend meetings or volunteer; you can be as involved as you’d like!  You do not even have to be currently enrolled to purchase a membership.  Anyone can join the PTA!  Memberships range from $10 - $20 and help us to provide support to the students, families, teachers and staff of Trailwood Elementary.  
To purchase a membership, simply log into your Membership Toolkit account and follow the prompts.  You can also purchase your child’s yearbook and yearly activity fee at this time.  
Thank you for your consideration and support of Trailwood Elementary!
Please contact Cara Peterson at caraelizabeth1@yahoo.com with any questions.

  • Plan monthly lunches for teachers
I will attempt to make this as easy as possible, giving you ideas, email formats, and suggestions!

The Box Tops for Education program has gone digital! Make sure you have the app so you can easily scan receipts of any products with the new Box Tops. You'll also find lots of opportunities to earn Bonus Box Tops! Learn more about the program and download the app here: https://www.boxtops4education.com/  

There are still plenty of products around with the old Box Tops, and we will get credit for sending those in as well.  Drop off physical Box Tops in the office vestibule any time by Oct. 27. Please make sure they have not expired. If you have a lot of them, bundling or bagging them in labeled sets of 50 would be helpful. There will be another collection period in February so keep clipping!
If you have questions, please email Kellie Harvey, kelliesharvey@gmail.com

 T-bird Trot and book fairs make up a huge portion of the library budget and with the uncertainty surrounding these events, Mrs. Fritz needs some help providing as many amazing titles as possible.
How can you help? Mrs. Fritz has created her own Amazon wish list for you to choose what your family would like to purchase for the Trailwood library. Once delivered, Mrs. Fritz would then add a sticker inside the book recognizing and thanking your family for the generous donation. 
Please follow the link below to access the library wish list.
https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/YV9U7JPXUEOJ?ref_=wl_share​
Should you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to Tracy Hugunin at tjhugunin@gmail.com
Thank you in advance for your continued support!

Hello Thunderbirds! You did it! Welcome to the 2020-2021 school year! It has already proven to be one for the record books, but I genuinely believe this amazing Trailwood community can, and will, make the best of these very different, ever changing times.
While our PTA calendar is noticeably bare for now, there will still be opportunities to get involved. It will be a year of creativity as I encourage us all to find ways to facilitate appreciation to our TW staff and provide support to our kiddos. This is what makes our PTA and community outstanding and special.
Be on the lookout for a future email on how to update your information in our directory, as well as purchase PTA memberships, yearbooks, and more.
Thank you for your patience and grace as we navigate this new year together. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. We value your input!

Go Thunderbirds!
