IN THE NEWS:

School-a-Palooza is back on November 23rd! 
We will all be going VEGAS, baby! "Lucky 13" is the 13th incarnation of this well-known and loved parent/faculty variety show. Learn more about about the show at www.palooza187.com

Doors open at 3:30 for Food-A-Rama, the show starts at 5:00 (same as last year). It is a fun event to be a part of, but it needs a LOT of help. Sign up to volunteer by CLICKING HERE. 
Picture Day Retakes are Monday, November 18th 
If your child was absent on picture day, or if you'd like their portrait to be redone, please sign up for Picture Day Retakes. In order to participate, you must email psis187@gmail.com with your child's name, grade, and homeroom teacher's name no later than November 12th. Please note, this is for portrait retakes only. Class photos will not be redone. 
CALL TO ACTION! TEACHERS STAY, BUT THE BATTLE CONTINUES.

We won a small victory, but we have not won the battle. We are keeping our teachers, but the the money is still being taken away from our budget and we are still drastically underfunded. If we don’t take action nothing will change. Join us in demanding FAIR funding! 

In order to evaluate all our options, and identify the best way forward, we are re-establishing the Activist Committee. If you'd like to join those efforts, please email Traci Schwinn or our general PTO email (psis187@gmail.com). 
K-5 Soccer and K-8 Tennis! Few spaces still available.
Both soccer and tennis will be returning in the fall 2019! Both programs kicked off the week of September 23rd. To learn more and register, please visit the soccer page here and the tennis page here. 
Check out your free after-school options!
Did you know you have two free after-school programs available to the kids (ES and IS)? Click here to get to know the two providers and learn more. Registration is right around the corner and spaces are limited. 
Help bring more enrichment programs to the IS.
The PTO is in the process of exploring a new way to bring additional enrichment opportunities to the IS students and we need to hear from you! 

Please take a quick survey and spread the word for other IS parents/guardians to do the same. The results from this survey will help assess the need and available resources for the program. This is also your opportunity to volunteer to be an instructor. 
NEXT PTO MEETING IS:
