The purpose of Parent Teacher Team is to foster a close relationship between home and school which allows parents and teachers to cooperate in the education and welfare of our children and to develop and implement programs throughout the year, for our children, regarding safety, health, education, special events and holidays.
The Parent Teacher Team is an organization similar to PTA but without dues. Every parent who has a child attending Lippman is automatically a member of the PTT. Although you are a member you are not obligated to participate unless you are interested in helping us out!
We meet once a month starting in the morning (8:30 AM) then alternate the next month in the evening (7:00 PM). The morning meetings are held in the Spanish room—across from the Kindergarten class room, on left side; the evening meetings are held in the Lippman library. The schedule of meetings is located on the PTT Calendar, and the list of officers is located on the Parent Teacher Team contact page. Meetings are usually brief and tend to discuss upcoming events for us to plan and participate in and to discuss fundraisers. We participate in some fun things like Birthday Club, Pancake Breakfast, Staff Appreciation Week, a Hanukkah party, and reward parties for the students. Fundraisers are a necessary part of any school. We try to keep ours to a minimum. We have some ongoing ones that are of no cost to the parents. These are explained with this letter and can be kept as a reference throughout the school year.
We love to have parents involved and understand that some are able to help more than others. We hope you will be able to get involved in our great organization.
