SCHOOL UPDATES


VOLUNTEERS FOR 2026-2027 SCHOOL YEAR NEEDED

Calling All Percy Priest Parents, Caregivers, Grandparents, and Friends! We Need You!

The PTO is already hard at work planning another fantastic year for our students, teachers, and families, but we can’t do it without the support of our incredible community. Whether you have an hour to spare here and there, want to help with a specific event, or are interested in taking on a larger role, there are volunteer opportunities for every schedule and interest level.

Even if you have completed a volunteer interest form in previous years, please take a moment to complete the new form for the 2026-27 school year hereWe start fresh each year and want to make sure we have the most up-to-date information about your interests and availability.

Parents, grandparents, and family members are all welcome and encouraged to get involved. The more volunteers we have, the more we can do for our school!


Get Ready for the MNPS Hillsboro Cluster Back-to-School Bash!

When: July 29th from 4-6pm

The MNPS Hillsboro Cluster Back-to-School Bash is an exciting, family-friendly event designed to help students and families start the school year strong!

This free community celebration brings together MNPS schools, families, and local organizations for an event full of fun, connection, and support.

Families will enjoy games, food, and activities, while also receiving free school supplies (while supplies last) to help students feel prepared and confident for the first day of school.

In addition, community organizations will be on-site sharing valuable resources, services, and information to support student success and family well-being throughout the year.

The Back-to-School Bash is more than just an event—it’s an opportunity to build relationships, connect families to meaningful supports, and ensure every student has what they need to thrive.


SAVE THE DATE – PERCY PRIEST PTO BLOOD DRIVE

A single blood donation can help save multiple lives. Families within our own school community and beyond rely on life-saving blood products during medical treatments, emergencies, and surgeries.
On Wednesday, August 5, the Percy Priest PTO will partner with the American Red Cross to host a community blood drive at our school. We invite our school community to come together in support of this important cause.
As an added benefit, the Red Cross will make a contribution to the PTO for each pint collected during our drive, helping us support students, teachers, and school programs while giving back in a meaningful way.
Please complete this interest form to help us estimate participation and staffing needs. An official donor registration link will be shared closer to the event.
