Our Programs

Home / Our Programs

Throughout the school year our PTA hosts a wide variety of fun and engaging programs.

These can sometimes take a lot of volunteers to execute. If you are interested in volunteering please let us know.

Art Docents

Kids love art! Art Docents are volunteers that visit the classroom to introduce children to the wonders of art appreciation. For more information, visit the Art Docents page.

Awards

We are grateful to have so many dedicated teachers and volunteers, and we honor them with PTA awards in the spring. To see a list of previous winners, visit the Awards page.

Friendship Directory

Friendship Directory Waiver Reminder!

Fill out the directory waiver Online or Print it out and send it back to school with your student.

Deadline to turn in a directory waiver is October 11, 2024

Friendship Directory FAQs:

What is the Friendship Directory? It is a booklet that gets sent home to every family in the fall. It contains helpful information about the school, school district, and lists all the teachers as well as students whose parents fill out a waiver.

Why does Cedar Wood PTA put together a student directory? Can’t I just ask my student’s teacher? Due to privacy laws, the teachers and staff of Cedar Wood are not allowed to share student contact information, so the PTA helps fill this gap by putting together a directory of students and other very useful information!

How does PTA get the information for the directory? Directly from families. We are only allowed to include students with a current waiver on file. Waivers need to be filled out every year.

What if I don’t want my personal information in the directory? Simply don’t fill out a waiver. You may put in whatever information you are comfortable with. You may either not turn in a current waiver or fill one out stating you don’t want to be included.

What if my student isn’t listed, does our family still receive a directory? Even if you opt to not have your student(s) listed, every family still receives a directory.

Questions? Email Rachel at Directory@CedarWoodPTA.org
