Marie Schaefer Elementary School PTO

🗓️ SAVE THE DATE! Fall Picture Day is coming Thursday, September 10. Flyers will be sent home with your students soon!

Schedule those haircuts, get the outfits ready and prepare for a sweet memory of your student this year 📸

Welcome back, Schaefer Wildcats! 💙💛🐾 We are hoping you have an amazing first day as you meet new friends (and connect with old!), get to know your classroom and teachers and continue to grow.

📸 Share those fun first day pics below!

📚 Library volunteers are a welcome and vital part of our library program at District 90! Schaefer library volunteers will assist with checking in/out, shelving and other tasks that suit their strengths.

Only new volunteers need to complete the in-person training, or anyone who feels like they need a refresher.

➡️ Sign up for a session here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/508084BA4A82FA6F49-57933069-library #/

Happy Open House Night! 🥳🐾💛💙

As you arrive at the school and head to your classroom to meet your teacher, be sure to stop by the library at our PTO table! We are selling spiritwear and had a computer available to sign up for volunteering this year!

It's time, Wildcats! 🥳 Log into those Skyward accounts to see who your student's teacher is for this year!

Feel free to use this post to share your grade/teacher to connect with other Schaefer families ⬇️

We're excited to share our PTO exec team for this next school year! 🍎 Behind the scenes we are planning and organizing an amazing group of committees who will work alongside us this year to create fun and engaging year for our students and staff!

The OTHS Cross Country Boosters are excited to host our 2026 OTHS Kids Color Run, and you and your student(s) are invited! 🏃‍♀️ ❤️🩵💛

This event is open to children ages 3 through Grade 8 and is a great opportunity to encourage fitness, community involvement, and excitement for running in a fun, non-competitive environment.

Register by Aug 3 for a tshirt! https://bit.ly/OTHSColorrun

It's time to renew/sign up for volunteer training starting on Aug 3!

ALL volunteers must complete new volunteer training every school year. If you plan to attend field trips, help in the classroom, participate in events such as field day, you MUST complete the online volunteer training through Raptor.

Please note: If you are receiving emails through Raptor that your volunteer training is expiring, wait to do your training until Aug 3 or after! Otherwise, it will count it as the previous year and still expire 🙃

Thank you!
