Here are some of the themes for the week:
- Monday - Be KIND to yourself
- Tuesday - Be KIND to family members

Join the 2022-2023 Donlon PTA Executive Board
We are currently looking to fill our PTA board for next school year. We have many PTA board members leaving their roles due to their kids leaving Donlon and we'd love to get these positions filled. Being a part of the PTA board is a great way to give back to our Donlon community and help shape how our organization helps support our school.
The board is filled with parents just like you. We cannot continue to support our school without your help. The commitment level of each role can vary, however with a full team we can help each other and be sure that as many voices as possible are heard and give their input. There is no better way to help your school, and in turn help your student, than to join the PTA board!
The Nominating Committee is recruiting for the following board positions below:
- Auditor
- Financial Secretary
- Parliamentarian
- VP of Fundraising
- VP of Membership and Volunteers
- VP of Activities and Community Services

Volunteers on Campus.png?timestamp=1641766986659)
We are excited that we can begin having small numbers of parents/guardians on campus to volunteer in classrooms. Due to safety restrictions regarding COVID, procedures are different than in past years.
If your child's teacher has asked for volunteers, please communicate with them to see if you are needed. Then you must be cleared to volunteer as follows:
- Cleared through Pleasanton Police Department (this takes about 2 weeks for clearance) at this link: Police Clearance
- Submit proof of complete vaccination (all doses), and upload photo of vaccination card on the district link: Vaccination Clearance (District form)
- Complete the daily health screener prior to coming on campus EACH day you come to volunteer, and show clearance (green check email) to office staff. Daily Health Screener Link
- Sign in using Raptor (machine in office).
- Enjoy your volunteer time!
While on campus, we ask everyone to wear masks at all times (please, no eating or drinking in rooms). Also, please respect the learning and work that is happening at Donlon, focusing on the classroom needs. We love our community and know how much fun it is to see other families on campus, however, we ask that socializing happen outside of campus; not in classrooms, hallways, or in our office. Thank you for keeping our staff and students safe and healthy!
