PTA Voicemail and Fundraising Updates

We know that some of you have left messages on the PTA voicemail and are getting frustrated because you have not received a returned call.  We do not have access to the voicemail but have requested a password so we can retrieve messages.Until this situation has been resolved, we ask that you e-mail your messages to tamaracelementarypta@hotmail.com or send a note in with your child.  We will let you know when the voicemail issue has been resolved.

For those of you wanting to use the www.isupportfundraising.com website for the fall fundraiser, you will need your child's school ID number.  The number can be found on the report card jacket from the last report card of the year.  We will also provide those numbers to the teachers today and are asking them to place in the children's planners.  Please check the planner before contacting the school!

We thank you in advance for your assistance and have a great week!

Fundraising Technical Difficulty

Ok, it appears there is some technical difficulties this evening with the fundraising website.  I have confirmed that the school code is correct.  Please try again tomorrow.  We will post as soon as we hear that everything is working correctly.  Thanks for your patience!!
