Curriculum Night, Sep. 24 at 6:30p.m.


    Come and join us for Curriculum Night, and get to know a little more about our kids' day at Burr. 

This is a great opportunity to hear directly from your children's teachers about what your children will be learning this year, as well as to meet/socialize with other parents in your children's classrooms. It's one night you don't want to miss!

Reminder: this is a parents-only event!

Volunteer at the School Library!



Interested in volunteering at the school library? It is a great opportunity to serve the Burr community and become involved in your students' learning!  Pick any library session during the school week (sign up for one or twenty! Your choice! It doesn't have to be your child's class) and join the magic that is Ms. Patino's library class! Your main tasks will include organizing the library shelves and helping students check in and out books. More information can be found here: Ms. Patino's Page for Volunteers. Please make sure your CORI forms are up to date prior to volunteering. Contact jessica@burrpto.org for more information or questions. 

SIGN UP HERE! (You'll need to make a Membership Toolkit profile if you haven't already, but it's super easy!)

Your Kid's Classroom Needs You!


Burr PTO is looking for parents to volunteer as Room Parents for their child’s classroom this year. As a Room Parent, you’ll have the opportunity strengthen the connection between home and school. This year, Burr PTO will eliminate Room Parent emails - the roles of room parents will be focusing on being a liaison between teachers and other parents like being a contact person for the class, organizing class gifts, and coordinating class supplies. You can read our Room Parent guide here.


If you’re interested in making a huge impact and being more engaged in your child’s school experience, sign up on the SignUp Genius link here. Or contact kiki@burrpto.org.

 THE BURR PTO PRESENTS 


Photo Day - Volunteers Needed




Parent volunteers are needed Friday morning, September 12, for Picture Day. 
It would be ideal if volunteers are available for the back-up rain date too (October 3), just in case.

Volunteers will assist photographers, organize class flow, and have lots of fun helping kids and teachers smile for their photos. Please sign up here. 

**You must have your CORI cleared by Ms. Studley (studleyv@newton.k12.ma.us) to volunteer for this event**
