Many of our College Square Families purchase gifts throughout the year for our teachers. Some examples of gifts would be birthday, Christmas, thank you, and just because thoughtful gifts. Therefore, the PTO has taken the time to have teaching staff put together a teacher/classroom wish list to better help with gift ideas. The Teacher Wish Lists include our teaching staff’s personal likes and classroom wants and needs. Our amazing teaching staff regularly has to purchase supplies or items for their classrooms out their own pocket. This is why the PTO felt it was important to add classroom wants and needs to the lists. If you locate your teacher and their is no information under her/his name your teacher just has not provided any information to us yet.
The teacher wish lists can be found by just clicking on the Teacher Wish List tab at the top of this main page. Once you select the Teacher Wish List tab you will see that the teaching staff is broken down by grades, specials, support, and staff to better organize and find your teacher(s). We plan to update these lists periodically throughout the school year.
Thank you to all of our wonderful College Square families for your continuing support and we hope these Teacher Wish Lists are helpful and beneficial to all.

Hi Everyone! Be on the lookout because your children will be coming home today with their School Store Envelopes. We have participated with School Store, an online shopping program that helps our school raise money, for the last 2 years with great success. This program works a lot like Ebates with over 400 online stores like Walmart, target, and old navy to shop from on line.
All students who participate and return their envelope with their prize code on it will earn a prize. We will be having an additional promotion for all students who return their envelope to the school by Friday, September 14th will be entered to win an emoji inflatable chair!
School Store is also offering our school an additional 4% of sales if we can beat our number of 83 families who enrolled last year. I know we can do this!!
Remember this fundraiser runs for the entire 2018-19 school year! Happy Shopping!
