From our PTA Board

Welcome to the 2026-27 school year, Sanger Stallions!  We hope you all had a fun summer break and are as excited as we are to get back.  Hope you'll join us Monday evening for Chalk the Walk!!

Stallion Scoop - Edition 3

Principal Benedetto sent the 3rd edition of her newsletter, The Stallion Scoop, to all families enrolled as of Sunday.  If you missed it, click the button below to read some important updates to the arrival and dismissal process.  They are testing a new car-only pick-up with increased staff presence for efficiency.  Be prepared for a new traffic pattern during pick-up, and please have patience and grace as they work through the kinks in this new system.  Stay tuned for opportunities to provide feedback.

Previous editions are available by navigating to the top of the screen; on mobile, they are listed under the three horizontal lines.

Communications
Membership Toolkit (PTA website)

If you haven't done so already, you can log into your MTK account and update your student details to include their teacher.  Click My Account > My Forms/Paperwork > Family Information.  If you want to automatically have upcoming school events appear on your phone calendar, be sure to subscribe to the PTA calendar!  MTK is how we (PTA) communicate and share resources, but membership in the PTA is not required to access this resource.  If you'd like to learn more about membership and how that supports our school, you can do so on our Membership page, where you'll also have the option to join or renew.

Update MTK
GroupMe

Have you joined your class GroupMe?   Room parents utilize this platform to communicate the teacher's needs in your classroom, for upcoming field trips, holiday parties, and more.  
About half of our teachers to not yet have a room parent - more details in the next section.

Room Parents Needed!

Interested in doing a little more to support your teacher?  Become a room parent!  Each teacher has two available positions, so parents/guardians can collaborate on how to best support the classroom, including our Specials teachers!  The Room Parent Coordinators are planning some training for later this month, so you'll feel supported in the role.  Click the button below to learn more.
