Can’t make an 8:30 a.m. meeting? We are pleased to introduce two PTA board meetings in the evening this year!

There will be one evening board meeting in the fall and one in the spring.

Please join us in the board room of the Administration Building at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, October 17, 2019 and/or Thursday, March 26, 2020.

Board meetings are working sessions. All are welcome and encouraged to attend any meeting.

Meetings may start with a short closed session. Many meetings feature guest speakers.

Minutes are posted on this website following meetings. The full schedule of Horsemen PTA board meetings for the 2019-20 school year is available on this website. Meeting dates may also be found on the district calendar.

Nov. and Dec. Board Meeting Schedule Changes

horsemenpta

Stakeholders, please note a change in schedule for the November and December PTA board meetings.

November’s meeting will begin at 9 a.m. instead of 8:30 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 16. The later start time will accommodate breakfast earlier that morning for Morse staff, who won the PTA staff membership contest.

December’s meeting will take place one Friday earlier — on Friday, Dec. 14 — instead of on Dec. 21. This change was made in order to encourage more attendance, as many families may be travelling or preparing for holidays on the Friday before the weeklong break.

Thank you.
