Join Schimelpfenig PTA      


 

Join us for our PTA General Meeting, followed by a Coffee & Chat with Principal Kinnard at 8:30am!

 
During the PTA meeting, we’ll cover important PTA updates. Afterward, Principal Kinnard will share insights and updates regarding the school, including updates about incoming students from the other middle school campus that is closing next year. This is a great opportunity to ask questions and stay informed!
 
☕ All are welcome—hope to see you there!


Effective on January 17, 2025, a transaction fee of $1.50 will be added (as a separate line item) to the final dollar amount of your online credit card payment. These transaction fees, levied by our vendor, have been historically paid and absorbed by PTA as operating expenses. To maintain our PTA fund as much as possible to support our kids, staff and school, SMS PTA has voted to pass transaction fees through to the payees. You may still choose to pay by cash or check in person to avoid paying the fee. 

 

Thanks for your continued support! For any questions, please contact treasurer@smspta.org



SKI Plano (Supporting Kids in Plano) is the Plano Education Foundations largest fundraiser of the year.  Each year they ask that PISD schools consider donating a basket to be auctioned off at SKI Plano.  These baskets are a standout feature of the event, showcasing the creativity and generosity of Plano ISD families, PTAs and local businesses.

 

Schimelpfenig PTA will donate a family game night basket to the auction this year.  Please sign up HERE for any fun items that you would like to donate to be added to our basket. 

 

Items other than alcohol can be left in the box labelled game night in the front office by 1/20/25.  Please contact me to arrange for alcohol donations.

 

Thank you, in advance, for your generosity.  Our donation will help to fund the many things that the Plano Education Foundation does to support our schools, our staff and our students.
