PTSA Membership Drive

Did you know that 100% of your PTSA membership dollars goes directly back to the school to support your students? We need your help so we can fund student scholarships, classroom mini grants to enhance the learning experience, and wellness programs every month for student benefit, just to name a few. Please help us build back our membership base so we can expand programs that benefit our kids! There are various levels of membership, and any donation is greatly appreciated.

Wellness Wednesday

The JCHS PTSA Wellness Committee is looking forward to our next Wellness event on September 18, 2024.

September is national Suicide Awareness month. We will provide the students with information on how they can BE A LIFE SAVER.

We can't host these fun events without volunteers like you! Please sign up to volunteer using the signup genius link.

Volunteers

JCHS often need parent volunteers, so please join the PTSA!

All school volunteers will need to register to assist with working in the office, attendance office, drama department, team meals, senior treats, Wellness Wednesday, senior carnival, chaperones, etc.

Any task that will allow you to interact with students will require you to register as a volunteer.

Please follow the link to access the FCS Volunteer Registration page. Register as a Volunteer - Fulton County School System (fultonschools.org)

All visitors must remember to bring in their driver's license each time they sign in. This is non-negotiable. The license will need to be scanned each time they come to the office. It will not hold onto the information like the other system. So, if you are coming in for a parent/counseling/teacher/administrator meeting, you must remember to bring your license. It can't be digital either.

Social Media Manager

The PTSA is looking for a parent to manage our social media pages. Experience with Facebook, Instagram and Canva are a plus!

If this sounds like the perfect job for you, please reach out to:

Lael Dye, VP Communications at laelrn80@hotmail.com
