Denman PTSA

The Denman PTSA wishes you a warm welcome!

Calling all Denman bakers and table helpers!

📚 Back to School Night is on Wednesday, September 10, from 5:30 to 7 pm. This is a great opportunity to meet your children’s teachers, connect with staff and learn about Denman’s PTSA! (Psst, your Denman kids can join, too.) 🎉

That evening, the Denman PTSA will also be having our first fundraiser of the school year! 💵💚 We need donations of your delicious, individually wrapped and allergen-free (no nuts, please!) baked treats 🧁🍪 for us to sell. We also need volunteers to help sell those yummy treats, pizza 🍕and beverages 🧃. Denman students can earn volunteer community service hours! Bring the form from your counselor to be signed.

Sign up to donate food and/or to volunteer at the table: https://dptsa.link/2509btsnvol

All proceeds from the food sales benefit our school site and go toward funding:

• supplies for teachers and students

• student clubs

• books

• STEAM Night

• grade-level camping trips 

• Denman Pride lunchtime BBQs, and more!

We accept credit cards, Venmo, Apple Pay, CashApp, PayPal, and cash for your convenience.

Thank you!

Seeking a PTSA VP of Community and committee members

Want to know more about the community at Denman? Volunteering on the PTSA Executive Board is a great way to learn. No experience is required!

We are seeking a VP of Community for this school year. This role helps get the word out to our community—especially Spanish-speaking families—and make them feel welcome. It's similar to this CA PTA Job Description.

We also invite participation in committees, which are small groups that help with PTSA operations:

• Volunteer Committee: be notified first of volunteer needs and think of people who could help

• Membership Committee: promote the benefits of PTSA membership

• Nominating Committee: in January and February, identify and recruit Executive Board members for the following school year

• Budget Committee: estimate how much we'll raise and prioritize our spending

• Fundraising Committee: brainstorm, solicit donations, or plan/staff fundraising events

• Grants Committee: review staff program grant applications several times a year and vote on whether to fund them

• Financial Review Committee: twice a year  in a short meeting, ensure that the Financial Reviewer examined our financial and legal records properly

Welcome to the 2025–26 school year!

The first day of school is Monday, August 18, 9:30am–4:00pm.

New families are welcome to send your child to class at 9:25am on the first day of school, and then report to Denman’s auditorium for a brief welcome, school overview, and important updates, with coffee and donuts, compliments of Denman PTSA.

The start of school is busy, but it's simple to keep up with all things Denman:

• For now, read Principal Ujiie's Welcome Letter to Denman Families
