Student Liaison

PTSA Student Liaison Opportunity

Each year PTSA looks for 2-5 students from each class to serve as PTSA Student Liaisons. These students are a voice for student concerns, needs, and suggestions to the PTSA and school administration. The main responsibility for this role is to be an active participant at PTSA meetings and share your opinions when asked. We encourage the Liaisons to participate in PTSA programs and activities, and even develop ideas for new programs or ideas for the school community as a team. If interested, have your student complete this interest form link.

Jaguar Pantry News

Welcome back to our amazing Jaguar community!

We are looking forward to a great year with our Jaguar Pantry. To start off the year, please consider signing up to become a Red Bag Donor. Five Saturdays each school year donors fill a grocery bag with food and leave it out to be picked up by volunteers. These bags are collected, their contents sorted into bins, and the food transferred to our middle and high schools the same day. This food is then available for students that we pack into our weekend packs. This is a great way for you to make a big impact for our Jaguar students.

Support our Jaguar Pantry by signing up today! Food For Neighbors Red Bag Program
