PTA Buzz

Whether you’re returning or joining us for the first time, we’re glad you’re here 😊❤️

As we settle into the year ahead, we’d love for you to JOIN NRE PTA. No volunteering required— membership is just a way to stay connected and in the loop. Subscribe to the newsletter, follow us on FB and IG, and see how our PTA helps support students, staff, and teachers with events, informative programs, and little extras throughout the year. Here’s to a great year ahead!

• No Volunteering Required
• Connect with Teachers & Admin
• Connect with other Parents
• Support Your School
• Be an Informed Parent

You MUST pass a background check from Denton ISD to volunteer on all campuses. This is a Denton ISD rule. Please contact our front office with questions or concerns regarding the process.

A New Feature: monthly spotlight on NRE Community Sponsors who support our Honeybees.

🌟 Queen Bee Sponsor Spotlight 🌟

We’re excited to recognize Chasza McCaskill—proud parent of a Newton Rayzor 2nd grader and a Licensed Master Barber with 13 years of experience—as this year's first Queen Bee Sponsor!

"I love to help people any way I can… especially kids. My involvement with the PTA is about making sure as many Honeybees have what they need as possible. I’m grateful for the opportunity to give back." --Chaz McCaskill

💛 Thank you, Chasza, for showing the IB spirit of being Caring and Principled — supporting kids and giving back to the community 🐝
