Please join us for our first Dining for Dinero Fundraiser of the school year at Tavern Hall in Bellevue Square! This is a family friendly restaurant. Wednesday, October 5, 2016, 11am-9pm This is a great way to connect with other Puesta del Sol families while raising funds for our PTA. Can’t make it for dinner? Consider meeting friends for an early lunch that day. Tavern Hall has generously agreed to donate 15% of all purchases to Puesta del Sol PTA when you mention Puesta del Sol or show this flyer to your server. |
School Directory - We are excited to announce that the printed directory is a thing of the past. Our school directory is now entirely online on our website which saves volunteer time, PTA expense, and is more environmentally responsible.
Financial Policy Update - Another change this year is a new check processing fee of $5.00. Now that the significant majority of payments take place using credit cards online instead of submitted with paper forms like in the past, we tend to have very few check payments throughout the year. When we do have payments by check, it takes several volunteers to process and track the payments. This fee will NOT be applied to donations or financial aid co-pays.
We Are Going Greener! - Continuing our increasing use of technology and reduction in paper, we will not be offering paper forms for yearbook orders, Spirit Wear purchases, or volunteer requests. This also helps keep the ordering system solely online and avoids duplicate orders.
Spirit Wear - Spirit Wear is available for purchase now! Get your Puesta Hawks shirts for "Blue Fridays", or a mascot Phoenix or “I love Spanish” Tee for our ongoing Spirit Wear Wednesdays continued from last year.

Reflections Theme: |
|
Reflections is a national art competition that is sponsored by the PTA and is the first entry for the Academic Challenge. This year’s theme is “What Is Your Story?” and entries can be made using multiple artful expressions (literature, film, visual art, photography, music and dance). Entries are due by October 24th, 2016 in the school office. Please see the Reflections web page on how to enter, general rules, common disqualifiers and important dates. There will be a Reflections table at this year’s Walkathon where parents and students can ask questions and purchase backing boards and protective sleeves to make the process even easier. The online registration page and official form will be available later this month. Be sure to check the El Sol for details.
