This creates an opportunity for new families to have a contact person to help them get to know the community and resources available to them. To obtain a sign-up form or questions about this program, contact Jenny Noble-Kuchera at 330-7741 ext. 218 or jkuchera@mccsc.edu. Parents and students are able to check to see if a bus is running late or what bus their child is riding by checking on a link at the MCCSC website. In an effort to communicate with parents concerning their child’s bus, MCCSC Transportation Department has developed a special link on the school system’s website: www.mccsc.edu. ‘Click’ on the yellow bus icon for “late bus/schedule changes”. PTO President’s Welcome 2008-2009 School Year Welcome to the 2008-09 school year! The Rogers-Binford Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) works closely with the teachers, administrators, and staff to support school programs, assist students, and promote the involvement of parents in our school. All parents at Rogers and Binford Elementary Schools are automatically members of the Parent Teacher Organization and are invited to attend the PTO meetings. Please check the PTO Calendar for the specific time and location of meetings. We encourage you to become involved with the PTO during the school year and the best way to do that is by attending the monthly meetings. It’s a great way to meet other parents, make a difference in your child’s education, and contribute to the success of our schools. The PTO hosts a number of fun and important activities throughout the school year. A good way to stay informed about PTO happenings and events is to read the monthly PTO newsletter that is sent home with each Rogers-Binford student. Please be aware that any PTO information sent home with your student will be on goldenrod colored paper. Only PTO uses this color. You may also check the PTO bulletin boards located in the hallways at both Rogers and Binford, or visit our PTO website at http://www.mccsc.edu/~binrogpt. We will see you at school!
