Show your Appreciation to our Teachers and Staff this Holiday Season

PMS Staff Thanksgiving Meal: We have so much to be thankful for at Peachtree Middle School! Let's show our teachers and staff how much we appreciate them before the Thanksgiving break!

 

Please sign up to volunteer at the event on Wednesday, November 20 and/or donate items for the meal! We are planning to cater turkey/ham with donated funds and also asking our families to provide sides and extras for the meal. Sign up and find all the details here.

 

Staff Holiday Gift Fund: 

In this upcoming season of caring and giving, help us show our appreciation to the Peachtree Middle School staff!

 

The Staff Holiday Gift Fund is collected on behalf of families who wish to give a gift to our Peachtree Middle School staff before Winter Break. The funds are distributed evenly among all Peachtree staffers.

NEW! Parent Team Liasons Needed

 

 

We need parents for teams 8A, 8B, and Intensive English!

 

Are you interested in becoming a parent liaison for your student's team? This is a new position, created to assist teachers in communicating with parents for activities and needs that go beyond typical classroom procedures.  For example, for field trips, the team liaison would help coordinate and communicate with chaperones.  This would be similar to a room parent at the elementary school level but not as in-depth.  This position will work with the team families to communicate about various needs the teachers/staff may have.  Duties may include: sending emails, organizing collections needed by the teachers for school projects/activities, helping to coordinate for field trips or events within that team.   

 

Complete the interest form here. Thank you!

Teacher Appreciation Week Chairs Needed: 

Our PTSO is seeking a Chair or Co-Chairs for our annual Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week in May.  We have a committee of volunteers to help with each day of the week, but we need someone(s) to oversee the week as a whole. Please contact Sheila Greear at weil702@yahoo.com.

 

Bilingual Parents:

Looking for ways to get involved at Peachtree Middle but don't know how? We'd love to have you support the school with us!  We are looking for bilingual/multilingual parents to help us reach more of the PMS Community too.

 

 

School tours will be offered on various dates throughout the school year.  Learn more and sign up for a tour here.

With your donation, the PTSO will be able to accomplish the following:

  • Contribute to and host exciting events for our students like the all-school Patriot Games, a rising 6th grade “Summer Bridge” one-day orientation, the 8th Grade Celebration Week, and more.
  • Give each student in the school a custom "Peachtree" agenda
  • Thank our teachers and staff for all they do with a cash gift at the holidays and events such as Bus Driver Appreciation Week in the Fall, Teacher/Staff Appreciation Week in the Spring, and monthly coffee carts and pot-luck meals four times a year.
  • Provide scholarships to pay students’ dues for school clubs – sports, fine arts, and others – when financially necessary.
  • Provide each classroom teacher with a $125 stipend to purchase targeted items for use in their classrooms.

In addition, this summer, using funds raised in 2023-2024, the PTSO was able to purchase a microfiber cleaning system for the cafeteria and subsidize cleaning supplies not paid for by the county.

PTSO Proposed Structure Changes 

 

The Peachtree PTSO is making big changes to its structure!   At its November meeting, the Board of Directors of the PTSO expects to amend its organizational documents. These amendments:

  • Include formal membership in the PTSO for all parents, teachers and staff at Peachtree Middle;
  • Include the formation of a nomination committee and an annual election of officers of the PTSO;
  • Align our PTSO more closely with other parent-teacher organizations of schools in our cluster; and
  • Remove references to the former charter designation of our school.

The Board of Directors believes these amendments will provide more opportunities for families to support our school by getting involved in the PTSO. 

 

Join us, share your ideas, and help shape the future of Peachtree!
