We will be starting a new parent involvement program this year called "Giving P.A.W.S." and here is how it works.
By participate in our PTA you will earn a parent paw, your child will be able to turn your paw in with their classroom Panther Paw Program. A parent paw will be worth five (5) student paws. If you have more than one child at East Antioch you will receive a parent paw for each of your children for your qualified PTA involvement.
Here is how you earn P.A.W.S.--Pay your membership dues, make your $25.00 per child opt out donation (will receive a paw for each $25 payment), have your employer match your contribution (will receive a paw for each $25 increment), attend a PTA meeting, volunteer at least one hour at any PTA event, or by volunteering to be on a PTA committee.
Bonus or additional P.A.W.S. will be awarded for the following-- Bringing a parent to their first PTA meeting (includes your spouse), getting a parent to volunteer for the first time on a PTA committee or event, or by obtaining a corporate sponsor. Watch Dogs will receive a bonus P.A.W.S. each day they volunteer, for a total of two for a full day at school.
PTA Board Members may award P.A.W.S. for other reasons during the course of the school year.
Once earned, you will be giving your parent paw to your child and they will get the honor of placing your P.A.W.S. in their classrooms Panther Paw Bowl and tell how you earned it. This will give your child a chance to be as proud of you as we are of them.
