Thank you to everyone who helped Stock the Lounge and who attended the PTA coffee on the first day of school! It was great to see familiar faces and meet new members of the Pride!
BECOME A MEMBER OF THE PTA!
Membership Toolkit is live for 25-26! Sign up/log in to purchase a PTA Membership (see detailed instructions below). Membership supports Pembroke and gives you access to our secure online directory, a vote at PTA meetings, and much more.
There is no time commitment or volunteer requirement with your membership. The funds raised through your purchase of a membership directly supports our students and teachers.
ROOM PARENT SIGN UP
Each classroom has volunteer Room Parents that act as liaisons between the teacher, parents and PTA team. Room Parents need to be members of the PTA to be reimbursed for any expenses. As a Room Parent, you have the opportunity to build a strong relationship with your child’s teacher and support the classroom overall. Once finalized, the PTA will provide a Room Parent contact list and email distribution which can be used to share ideas, ask questions, etc.
Primary responsibilities include:
● Point of contact for teacher/ classroom parents
● Coordinate classroom parties and events with direction from teacher
● Communicate school programs, events and important information via email
● Advocate for the classroom needs if required
We also welcome and strongly encourage all Room Parents to attend any/all PTA meetings as their schedule allows.
If you are interested in becoming a Room Parent, add your name to the Sign Up Genius here.
Two parents from each classroom will be randomly selected. If you are not randomly selected as a room parent there will still be other volunteer opportunities in the classroom and school.
Online Directory & PTA Membership
**This year we are NOT going to produce a printed directory. The online directory through Membership Toolkit will have all the information for Pembroke parents and students.
Our online directory platform is up and running! Please follow these easy steps below to update your directory contact information and join the PTA in one easy step. At the beginning of each year, we raise initial funds for our school through ‘memberships’ in line with the Michigan and National PTA organizations. This is simply a structure for tracking general donations to our school and allows for each family to determine if/how they want to be involved any further. As a benefit of making a membership donation, you will have the opportunity to join meetings, make motions, run for board, vote and receive direct updates from our administration and teachers. That said, you do not have to volunteer if you donate/join...we realize how busy everyone is!

Reflections is a National PTA program that encourages students to explore the arts and express themselves through a nationwide contest. Students can submit art in the form of visual arts, literature, music composition, film production, photography or dance choreography. Entries are judged on how well the art relates to the theme, creativity and technical aspects of the medium.
The deadline for entries is Wednesday, November 5th. Entries can be emailed to Danielle Rumple at drumple@bps-schools.com or can be turned into the office. No entries will be accepted after the deadline!
