Even though the membership challenge is over it is not too late to pay your dues.
One of the benefits of paying our annual PTA dues is access to the A to Z directory which allows us to quickly search for classmates and friends of our kids which certainly can make setting up playdates and class parties easier. Access to A to Z will now be limited to PTA members. Anyone who is signed up in A to Z will be able to receive communication from the PTA including information about events and the weekly whale but will be unable to utilize the directory.
To pay your annual support fee and join the PTA:
1. Visit https://bhespta.membershiptoolkit.com
2. Select “Membership Store” on the left.
3. Buy your Annual Membership and “Check out”
Learn about the PTA on Our Website: www.BHESPTA.com
Questions? Email: BHESPTAMembers@gmail.com. Thanks again to everyone who has already joined! We couldn't do this without you!
What is Bradley Hills Membership Toolkit (A to Z Connect)?
There are still 24 students who are not in A to Z Connect, and we would love to have 100% participation in order to make sure no one is missing out! This is how the PTA communicates school-wide and how room parents communicate with the families in their classrooms.
BHES has a Green School distinction, and both the school and the PTA try to avoid sending printouts home – so email and website communication is critical!
Our PTA has a listserv through our school directory database, Membership Toolkit. All registered families receive emails about PTA events, including the Weekly Whale and community announcements. Please follow the instructions below to register.
New to BHES? How to register on Membership Toolkit:
If you are new to Bradley Hills (and don’t have a Membership Toolkit account with BHES):
- Go to the https://bhespta.membershiptoolkit.com/ and click on Register/Login.
- Click Create Account. Enter your account information.
- The website will send you a confirmation e-mail before you can continue with the registration process.
- Confirm your e-mail address and then you can enter your family information and set your Directory & Publish preferences.
- You must complete your family information AND your directory publish preferences (under My Account) in order to view the directory. After November 7, 2025 you will be able to continue receiving PTA communications but will have to be a member of the PTA (by paying the $50 annual membership fee) to access directory information. You can use the web or download the Membership Toolkit app from the App Store or Google Play.
Membership isn’t in your budget? Let us know! BHES PTA values membership access for all BHES families. Your membership funds are not the only way to show support. Participation and volunteering are essential to everything the PTA does! We want to make sure that all families can join the PTA, whether they can easily afford the $50 membership fee or not. If the membership fee doesn’t fit into your budget, you can still join, providing you with access to the online directory and the ability to vote during general membership meetings! Please reach out to our PTA President at bradleyhillsptaprez@gmail.com to let her know of your situation and we will help you acquire membership.
ALL ITEMS REMAINING IN THE LOST & FOUND AT 5:00 P.M. ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14TH WILL BE DONATED!
Heading to a parent-teacher conference this week or attending the Open House on Tuesday? Stop by the Lost & Found while you’re at school!
