Paper & Digital Flyers for the Wednesday Folder
Please send all pertinent information 2 weeks before your event. Both the paper and digital versions are distributed on the same Wednesday–one in the blue folder in your child's backpack, and the other as an email.
I'm New/I'm Lost
There's a ton of information archived on our PTA's Google Drive that can help you succeed at anything Rogers! Get access by contacting the admin. Here's a quick overview on how most chairs run their department:
Files & Media
All past, present, and future documents from all of our chairs live on a Google Team Drive and is the best place to start. Your chair can add you directly to the drive using these instructions if you already have a gmail account.
If you do not, you can contact the admin to create a "@willrogerspta.com" account for you to use with it. The admin can also forward any message to your personal email if you would prefer.
We use these @willrogerspta.com addresses to keep all a record of all the emails and contacts in one place. Multiple people can have access/receive forwards of an address.
The admin can also reset and forward any @willrogerspta.com address if you are locked out. This will also work if you are trying to get into a SignUpGenius or any other third party service. You can follow that service's "forget your password?".
Getting the Word Out
Information is distributed as:
- Paper flyers in every blue Wednesday Folder in your child's backpack
- Digital versions of the flyer sent on Wednesdays via email
- Website postings, typically on the homepage
- Social media via Facebook and Instagram
To get stuff printed and posted, use the both the Printshop and Postshop forms.
Asking for Volunteers
For volunteers we use Signupgenius.com and social media postings asking specifically for volunteers for a specific event. Those posts additionally go out every Thursday in a "Volunteer Newsletter" to interested parents.
To find out if a prior signupgenius has been made for your event, use the email associated with that ( valet@ for valet, cinco@) use the forgot password if you can't get in. If you can't get into the @willrogerspta.com email, contact the admin.
Notes
New banners are not often printed, and if they are, they do not have event dates on them so they may be reused. They are in the PTA closet and a banner request form must be filled in and sent into the District for approval before hanging.
In fact, almost anything from reimbursement forms to committee reports, can be found on the forms page or on Google Drive, so when in doubt, poke around.
