  5. Who can post and what can be posted on the PTA listserv? The CHES PTA listserv is designed to facilitate communication across the Cayuga Heights Elementary School community. As a discussion listserv, all members can post announcements and start threads of conversation. All messages should be relevant to the CHES school community; they will be seen by hundreds of CHES parents, teachers, staff, and caregivers.

  6. How can I donate? Thank you for asking! CHES PTA programs are funded entirely by donations and fundraising programs. We welcome and appreciate every donation, large and small. You can donate to our Annual Fund online anytime of year or contact our PTA Treasurer directly to discuss a donation. If you’d like to give us a check, simply write it payable to “CHES PTA,” place it an envelope, and bring it to the main office. You could also have your child deliver the envelope to their teacher, who will make sure it gets to the main office.

  7. Where are the PTA mailboxes? There are two PTA mailboxes located in the CHES Main Office, one for “PTA” and one for “PTA Treasurer.”
