Welcome Schweitzer Families to 

Schweitzer's Parent Teacher Association! 

Dear Schweitzer Families,

Welcome both new and returning families to Schweitzer Elementary School Distant Learning. This truly will be unlike any other school year, filled with twists and turns during these unprecedented times.

I want to introduce myself as your PTA President for the 2020/21 school year. I have been a Schweitzer parent for 11 years and a part of the PTA board for 8 years. I truly feel our PTA is a family that is open and eager to embrace new members. I now have a high schooler, middle schooler and only one left here at Schweitzer. This period in their lives goes by so quickly and leaves such lasting memories. During distant learning, school looks very different for our children and the teachers and staff are working so hard to make the best of the situation, for that reason, I urge everyone to get involved. Take advantage now and get involved to help create a truly wonderful distant learning experience for our children at Schweitzer! Before you know it, our children will be off to middle school, then high school and beyond...

Schweitzer PTA sponsors many events throughout the year intended to enrich the experience at Schweitzer. The Fall Festival, Holiday Breakfast, Family Reading Night, and the School Play are only made possible through our combined efforts. Although these events have been either cancelled or put on hold for now, it is important to know that they are traditions at Schweitzer that will return when it is safe to do so. Most recently we have built a new garden to help with hands-on academic enrichment. It is our hope that every family seizes these opportunities to enhance our children’s lives.

This year your family will receive our school calendar. Although we had to leave out all school events, it will be there to add in special days that do happen as the school year goes on. The calendar is free and intended to keep you informed throughout the school year. Please also watch for email and all call updates to inform you of new developments to add to your calendar. Schweitzer PTA maintains a Facebook page at www.facebook.com/schweitzer.elementary/ The Schweitzer School website is also a great resource for finding updates https://www.sanjuan.edu/Schweitzer.cfm?subpage=47193 You may also contact us directly at albertschweitzerpta@gmail.com.

Thank you to everyone who have supported and continue to support Schweitzer Elementary. Your dedication is always appreciated!

Thank you,

Tracy Auble,

PTA President
