Please submit any PTA reimbursement requests!

 
In an effort to reduce a bolus of reimbursement requests for our awesome (but busy!) PTA Treasurer to complete while at the same time reconciling accounts to close our 2022-23 financial records by June 30th, if you have any reimbursement requests for events that have already occured:
  • Reimbursement requests for events or purchases made prior to May must be submitted by May 20th
  • For events in May, reimbursement requests must be submitted by June 7th
  • Any reimbursement requests sent after May 24th will only be done by Zelle (we cannot fulfill any paper check requests) 
  • Please cash any paper checks received by June 15th

Serve on Next Year's PTA Board

The PTA is what brings us all our fun-filled community-building events, and it takes a village of volunteers to fill all the roles.  It's incredibly rewarding to serve our school community in such a meaningful way and is also a wonderful way to meet new people and make friends.  So please consider jumping into a PTA leadership role --- amazing experiences await! 

We are seeking two (or three, if you & a friend want to be Co-VPs!) people for the 2024-2025 school year's board:

  • Vice President:  Primary aide to the PTA president and "in-training" to be the following school year's PTA president (or Co-Presidents!).  This role also attends monthly District Rapport meetings with the Superintendent, other LAFSD PTA presidents and VPs, and LPIE president.  
  • Historian:  Typically, a parent serves in this role during their student's 5th-grade year, so if you have a current 4th-grader, this is a great position to consider. During their term, the Historian is responsible for the preparation of the PTA's Annual Historian Report of volunteer hours required by the California State PTA (completed at the end of the school year), Chairs the Honorary Service Awards, and leads the planning of 5th-grade end of year activities.  

If you are interested in being more involved at LES, please reach out to parliamentarian@lafayettepta.info

 
In addition, we are excited to have our own LES LPIE Gala Committee for next year's LPIE Gala!  If you'd like to get more involved in helping directly with LPIE, please contact us at president@lafayettepta.info or learn more by clicking the button below.
