First PTA Meeting
TODAY @ 8:15am
Please join us for the first PTA meeting of the year today at 8:15 am via Zoom. The Zoom password is: 926 2160 1561.  All parents are welcome (members and non-members).

You can become a member of the PTA  through our directory website, Membership Toolkit.

Why Join the PTA? The PTA plays an important role in fundraising to provide building improvements, curriculum-based programs, field trips, and social events. Additionally, increased school PTA membership gives our students and our school representation at both the local and state levels. Be a role model and become as involved as you want to be! All those who purchase a 2020-2021 PTA membership will receive an exclusive 2020-2021 car magnet. 

Thank you for supporting E. Rivers PTA! Please email eriversdirectory@gmail.com with questions.

Update Your Information for the 2020-2021 Student Directory

To collect student information for our directory, we use Membership Toolkit. https://eriverselementarypta.membershiptoolkit.com/

Why is Membership Toolkit important? Having each student's current, up-to-date contact information will help us stay connected, especially since we are currently virtual. Membership Toolkit also has an app to give you convenient access to the contact information from your mobile device.

Returning families: Please use the same email address you used last year on Membership Toolkit. This will allow you to see the directory information you previously entered and you can quickly edit, select privacy settings to be published in the directory, and purchase a PTA membership. If you forgot your password, you have the option to reset it. 

New families: Please create a profile on Membership Toolkit so that you can add your information.

Thank you for including your students in the directory! Please email eriversdirectory@gmail.com with questions.
