WALKING SCHOOL BUS

The PTSA's Walking School Bus began its 9-week spring season to Main Street School at the end of April.

We have one parent who has committed to walk with a group with a meeting point at Lyndhurst along the Aqueduct. Any families who signed up to do this route in the fall have been contacted to see if they'd like to join us again. Others are also welcome to sign up based on availability.

Other routes will run only if 1-2 parents are willing to sponsor a route in their area by walking with a group each week (or swap selected weeks). Please contact Walking School Bus Chair Maura Gedid at irvingtonsaferoutes@gmail.com.

If you'd like to join a route for the first time or learn more, all program information and signup forms are available at http://www.irvingtonnyptsa.org/walking-school-bus-committee.html.

Email photos of your filled out signup forms to Maura Gedid at irvingtonsaferoutes@gmail.com. You'll be contacted to confirm your signup and your route.

SCHOOL PACKS

Order School Supplies for 2017-2018 and support the PTSA

We are excited to announce our continued partnership with 1st Day School Supplies and are happy to once again offer a way for students to receive the supplies their teachers hand-selected in a more convenient and hassle-free way. Like last year, the kits will be delivered straight to your door!

We are aware prices have increased slightly. This is a result of our efforts to work with the teachers to ensure the packs contain most of the supplies you will need at the beginning of the year. Additionally, this fundraiser helps support PTSA initiatives and enrichment programs throughout the year.

We encourage you to participate in our school supplies program this year and order your kits with 1st Day School Supplies. All of our grade kits are currently available for sale on their website and can be ordered until June 15th.

Please click here for the flyer for more details, and contact Aurora Gelman auroragel@gmail.com or Jackie Ourman jrhbell@yahoo.com if you have any questions.
