CHANGES IN BOOK CHECKOUTS

Starting the Week of Nov. 2, students who are on the A/B rotation will check out two books during their Media Class at school.  K-2 students will choose from a selection of books.  3-5 students will use Destiny Discover to place Holds on books that Mrs. Lockso will bring to the classroom. 

Students who are FULL REMOTE ACADEMY will continue to check out 4 books at a time.  Students in 3-5 MUST use Follett Destiny on NCEDCLOUD or Media Canvas Page to place holds on books.  FULL REMOTE ACADEMY students in K-2 can use Destiny Discover or the Google form linked below.  Mrs. Lockso will check out the books and email parents that they are ready for pickup.  Books can be picked up at the front door by the office any day of the week during school hours. Students can check out up to four books at a time and keep them for three weeks. You can click the link below for all of the details.  If you have any questions, please email Mrs. Lockso at kristina.lockso@cms.k12.nc.us

Attention WELLS FARGO & DUKE ENERGY Employees: 

Did you make an ECC donation through your company in order for your employer to match it?  

Some employers, like Wells Fargo & Duke Energy, use a procedure that requires you to make your ECC donation to YOUR COMPANY's giving/matching platform, and then your company in turn gives the McAlpine PTO that amount + their matching amount (i.e., you pay $50 to your company's gifting platform, and then your company donates $100 to McAlpine PTO).  

If you fall into this category, please please please fill out THIS GOOGLE FORM: 
https://forms.gle/iyhidS9RH8AccBN37 
to notify us that your donation AND your company’s match will be coming through your company’s charitable giving program.

Otherwise, the McAlpine PTO is not notified that you have made a donation, and we therefore cannot account for those funds in our records.  It can take weeks to months for the money to make its way to us, as most companies only issue these funds on a quarterly basis.  And when it does come, we are not able to determine which families have contributed in order to recognize you and send you a tax receipt! 

Please join the McAlpine Elementary School PTO so you can play an active role in contributing to decisions regarding how we spend PTO dollars, which programs and activities we provide for student enrichment, and what opportunities are available to support our children and teachers so they can continue to attain excellence in education!

Annual McAlpine Elementary PTO membership dues are $10 per family.  Family membership designates up to three adults as general body members. Join and pay the annual dues on your Pay4SchoolStuff account.
