September 24 PTSA Meeting

Our first Scullen PTSA meeting this year will take place tomorrow, Thursday, September 24 at 6pm via Zoom. All current members will be emailed a meeting link (through your MemberhHub account) as well as the proposed 2020-21 proposed budget and meeting agenda. The Meeting Minutes from our last meeting in April have been posted on the Scullen web page under the PTSA/Minutes tab. Both these items will be voted on at the September meeting.

(If you haven’t received the Zoom meeting link in your email by Thursday at 10am, please send an email to: scullenptsa@gmail.com and we will reply with the link.)

If you are not a current PTSA member and would like to attend the meeting, please send an email to: scullenptsa@gmail.com and we will reply with the meeting link.

Once you log into the meeting, the waiting room feature will be active and one of our officers will admit you to the meeting. Keep in mind that we’ll be matching your screen name to the name listed on your MemberHub account so please make sure they match. Please also make sure your microphones are on mute (unless you have a question, comment or we are voting). It’s entirely up to you if you prefer your camera on or off. The Chat feature will also be available for you to use during the meeting to ask questions.

At each PTSA meeting, a member of the administration will be giving a School Report. This is a great time to learn more about what’s happening at Scullen. You also have the opportunity to ask questions. Please see the Google form link below if you would like to submit a question/concern for Mr. Loughrige to answer/address at the September meeting.

In addition to a school report, Mr. Aaron Mueller, Team 7-0 Science & Georgraphy teacher, will also give a brief presentation on what a typical science lesson may look like during remote learning. You don't want to miss it!
