Frequently Asked Questions

 

 

 

 


 

How do I become involved in a committee or with the PTA and can I volunteer for more than one committee?

  • All help is welcome! Many PTA members find they are interested in more than one committee or event.
  • Visit the Volunteer page to find out ways you can participate
  • Complete and submit the Volunteer Form.
  • Contact any of the Kincaid Elementary PTA Executive Officers, Committee Chairs, about volunteering on a program/event, or just to offer some of your time!

Do I have to come to school to volunteer if I join the PTA?

 

No! You are NOT required to volunteer if you join the PTA. But if you want to volunteer, there are many activities that can be done away from the school that would be of great benefit to our programs and events. Some of these include making phone calls, emailing, designing documents, etc. Our Volunteer form is divided up into activities in the morning, during the day, or anytime/at night.

 

 

Can I volunteer even if I am unable to come to the meetings?

 

Yes! Volunteers are necessary for a lot of different events/programs.

 


 

 

 

How does the PTA raise money at Kincaid Elementary?

 

Visit the Fundraising page to read about our unique and collaborative relationship with the Kincaid Foundation. Our primary source of funds is through joint fundraising with the Foundation, and the Foundation essentially funds the PTA. Another source of income is your PTA membership dues. PTA may hold some fundraising events, but our relationship with the Foundation allows PTA to focus primarily on programs. Programs are not fundraisers – they are events that your PTA provides.

 

What does the PTA do with the funds raised?

 

The money raised by the PTA goes to fund enrichment programs/services at our school. Some of these include: Celebration of the Arts, Fellas Being Involved (F.B.I.), Cat Tracks, Character Education Program, Community Outreach Programs (Hat & Mitten Drive, Shoe Drive, Summer Lunch, MUST, Giving Tree), Diversity & Inclusion (You're Unique Week), Eblasts and Membership Toolkit, Environmental Education, Family Education, Family Engagement, Meet & Greet, Healthy Choices, Eye/Vision Testing, Honoring our Heroes Essay Contest, Hospitality for teachers/staff, Legislation & Advocacy, Teacher Training and Support, Reflections, Room Parents Coordination, School Supply Packs, Summer Reading Program, Volunteer Coordination, Welcome Back Festival (Joint with Foundation), Yearbooks, and more.
