First PTA Meeting
Thursday September 15, 2022 6:30pm
Location will be in person at the school.
We look forward to seeing you at our first PTA meeting of the year. There will be school announcements and some PTA business, but we also want to get to know you. This has been a hard 2 years. Let’s make some connections! At the meeting you can join the PTA. We will have a drawing for some prizes, food, and childcare will be available. If you can, you bring packaged food to share. All are welcome. You do not need to be a PTA member to attend. We hope to see you there.
Become a PTA Member
By joining you help support our school and also the Oregon and National PTA to empower all students to reach their potential.

Stay Connected
There are several ways to stay informed about events and things that are going on around the school. Join the PTA email list and follow us on social media. The Facebook Group is interactive, and allows you to post pictures, questions and announcements to the Sunnyside Community. It is a closed group, so posts can only be seen by members. For security reasons, please make sure you answer the questions to join the group. Join the PTA Facebook Group.
PTA Student Directory
The student directory is a great tool to get connected with other families. Having your child included enables others to keep in touch regarding playdates, birthday parties, and homework assignments.
Parent Square
North Clackamas School District uses ParentSquare as the primary tool for communicating with families, including for emergencies and school closures.
ParentSquare:
- Gives parents/guardians more control over how and when they receive messages
- Is an all-in-one communications platform that is more convenient
- Allows teachers to communicate with families using the same platform as the district and their school
- Has many added functions beyond communications.
Peach Jar
Peach Jar is the district’s electronic flyer system. We post flyers on this. After you sign up, you will receive emails with electronic flyers. You can adjust the frequency of the emails and also view all of the school and district flyers on their website.
Fundraising
If you would like to help raise funds, there are some easy things you can do. You can join Amazon Smile, and connect your account. A Fred Meyer Rewards account is is another option. Download the Box Tops app and start scanning receipts. If you drink Coke products, enter in the codes to earn money for the school. More information about these programs see the fundraising page. If you have ideas for other fundraisers, email sunny@sunnysidepta
Important Information about Volunteering
If you would like to volunteer at the school, you need to complete the district’s volunteer application which includes a background check. This is required to help in your child’s classroom, chaperone on a field trip, and help with PTA activities. The background check is valid for 2 year, so if you are new or have not volunteered in a while, complete the application. Complete this form now because it can sometimes take a couple of weeks for the background check to be completed.
The PTA is looking to fill some vacant positions. If you are interested, please email sunny@sunnysidepta
Help with Jog-a-Thon
After 2 years we are finally able to have a Jog-a-Thon again! The PTA is looking for help. Please contact sunny@sunnysidepta.org if you would like to be a part of the planning committee.
Academic Calendar
