Current & past newsletters can always be found on our website.
Our newsletter is published on Fridays. We try really hard to keep it short and sweet, and only give you NEW NEWS and not clog your inbox with repeated information (except these first few weeks when we'll be getting lots of new subscribers - bear with us). If you miss something, articles are kept on the front page of our website until they are no longer applicable. We also maintain a newsletter archive, which is kept on our Newsletter 101 Info Page.
Our full calendar can always be found on our website. You can subscribe to our iCal calendar by using these directions. iCal subscriptions are awesome and we encourage everyone to use them! All PTSA Events & BSD calendar days are in our calendar, and will be added to YOUR calendar when you subscribe. You can easily unsubscribe if you decide it's not for you.

Calling all 5th Grade Families! Please help us create an amazing Haunted House with our 5th graders this fall! This event is a big part of our much-anticipated annual event: Spooky Spaghetti. Putting on the Haunted House helps the 5th grade class raise money for their end-of-year events.
Add your name to the new sign-up form – we’ll have our first planning meeting in the first two weeks of September. We’ll have lots of jobs available at many time slots between now and late October, from building to painting to set-up and staffing the night of the event. The theme for the Haunted House is the Enatai School of Screams. We hope you'll join us - it's going to be lots of fun! Please sign up and we’ll contact you with more information and job roles.
If you plan on using the drop-off/pickup lane, please remember:
- Do not get out of your car. If you need to help your student enter/exit the car, find a spot in the lot or use street parking.
- Have your student enter/exit from the curb side of the car.
- It is ok to pull into/wait in the striped area of the pickup lane, as long as you stay in your car.
- Give hugs, pep talks, and say your long goodbyes in your driveway, before coming to school.
- Walkers & Park Parkers: Do not jaywalk/cross directly from the park to the school; use the designated crosswalks.
There is more information about pickup and drop-off in our Pick-up/Drop-off 101 article.
3rd grade mom Kathy Green-Wilson has agreed to chair our National Reflections project this year! Thanks Kathy! However, she will need help. Mostly this help consists of collecting/collating art projects and helping with the Art Walk. If you are willing to help Kathy, please email her. Thank you!
We do not have a PTSA President. We do have a strong team in place, but need someone to run our monthly evening board meetings and make sure that the "business of PTSA" is taken care of. This position can be shared by two people. Please email communications@enataiptsa.org if you are willing to say yes.
