Join the HSA Board

Deepen your commitment and make a huge impact at PAS

Time commitment: approx. 2-4 hours per week

The HSA will have several open board positions next year, and we are looking for a few interested candidates. This week we are featuring the role of Treasurer.

The Treasurer is the financial steward of our school community. This position ensures that the funds we raise—from ticket sales to school purchases—are managed transparently and put to the best possible use for our students and teachers. The Treasurer manages HSA bank accounts, creates and reports on the yearly HSA budget, creates monthly reports, processes payment requests, and pays appropriate dues, fees, taxes, and bills. This position also manages the finance working group and is supported by our bookkeeper Vivian Ng, our cashier Jessica Moore, and several auditors including Trang Nguyen. Past treasurers will also help support the new treasurer. Experience with finance or accounting (or the willingness to learn) would be ideal.

Sort of intrigued, but need something with less commitment? Train to be the cashier who counts money and makes bank deposits.

Board positions can be split between two people. New board members will be voted on/announced at the May 7 HSA meeting, and the two-year term begins July 1.

Help Gain Sponsorships for PAS

Connect us to Potential Generous Businesses or

Help Solicit Sponsors or Prizes

We have two big events coming up that need sponsorships from businesses: the 5K and the spring musical. The 5K has sponsorships ranging from $250-$3,500. Sponsors get their logo on the race t-shirt and potentially other perks. We also need prizes donated for the race -- gift certificates, free passes, tickets, products, etc. The musical has program sponsorships ranging from $100-$1500. Sponsors (and parents) can create an ad for the program. The bigger the sponsorship, the bigger and more prominent the ad.

We also need help contacting businesses and asking if they are interested in becoming a sponsor. If you can recommend or solicit any businesses, please let us know by submitting the sponsorship form!

NEW: How to Report an Absence

New Guidelines!

Fill out a Google Form for ALL Absences

In an effort to increase efficiency for the staff and to ease and improve communication between teachers, staff, and families, a new Google form has been created for parents to use for all absences. Please use this electronic form to submit an excuse for your child's absence from school within three days of the absence. A doctor's note must be provided for three consecutive days of absence. After 10 parent excuses, a doctor's note will be required.

See the Family Handbook HERE for more details about the attendance policy (page 8) and the school district policy HERE.
