Seeking Your Input About Literacy Programs
|
|
|
NYS PTA has created the PARP Task Force, which is charged with increasing the visibility of the PARP (Pick A Reading Partner) program and other literacy programs throughout the state.
We are looking for your input (
via this survey) as we strive to continually improve our literacy programs. Children and youth need to learn not only the skills of reading but also to discover the joy of reading. Helping children discover that joy while encouraging adult-child communication is the goal of PARP.
If you don’t feel you are the best person to respond to this
PARP survey, please pass this on to your PARP Chair and other members you feel would take a few minutes to answer this survey. You can have more than one person from your unit reply. The
survey will take approximately seven minutes to complete. The survey will close on June 30, 2018.
Click HERE for the survey link.
Your time and input are greatly appreciated!

Did You Pay Your Insurance?
|
|
|
Have you received your insurance renewal application from AIM?
If not, please call AIM directly at 1-800-876-4044 and request a new application.
Please send all your signed forms and your payment to AIM by June 30.
If you miss the deadline, your PTA will have a lapse in coverage and your coverage will not begin until resolved with AIM.
