FROM THE PTA PRESIDENT

Hello Buccaneer Families!


I wanted to introduce myself as this year's incoming J.L. Long PTA President.  As we prepare our families for the new school year, with so many uncertainties and trying to establish our new "normal", I'd like to reach out to let all of you know that you can rest assured that the support of the PTA will remain steady as always.  Of course things are likely to be different, and we are in the process of navigating through how fundraising and volunteering will look for the upcoming year. 

As always, we will need help from all of our J.L. Long Families, so please support our school by joining the PTA using the link below.  Be sure to pass this link along to anyone you know in your family and community as we need everyone's help now more than ever.

We are still finalizing details of the PTA Board and budget, including new committees and new priorities for this new school year.  We will send out our draft slate for the Board next week along with open leadership and committee spots. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you are interested in joining our PTA Board or assisting with our many needs for this year.  We are in this together!  #alldayLONG
