We will be asking for photographs of your children taking part in all sorts of Broadmeadow activities. Feel free to upload your pictures at any time, not just when we ask for them.

1) THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!

2) WALK TO SCHOOL DAY

Please submit only one clear picture for your child. If you have multiple children, you are welcome to submit one picture of all of your children, or a separate photo of each child.

Here is how you can submit photos online:

SIGN UP TO BE A PTC CLASSROOM REP

The PTC created the Rep Program to build community among the parents here at Broadmeadow. The goal of this program is to provide families with opportunities to get to know each other on a smaller scale, and to keep parents informed about PTC events and activities.

Each Classroom will have one PTC Rep, and each Rep will:

1. Provide a morning or evening opportunity for classroom parents to get acquainted with each other through zoom or a small outside gathering in late September or October following state guidelines. The PTC can assist with additional ideas.

2. Send a few emails over the course of the year to communicate about PTC events or volunteer opportunities.

3. Be a resource for and answer questions from the classroom parents as needed.

4. Work together with Classroom Reps within their grade to help plan and facilitate grade-wide events with the assistance of the Grade-Level Events coordinators.

Please consider signing up to be a Class Rep. Click here to sign up.
