William F. Prisk PTA
Founded in 1954
Mission Statement
Here at Prisk Elementary we encourage and welcome involvement
of parents both in the classroom and as members of the PTA.
The objectives of the PTA at Prisk are to:
promote parent and public involvement in Prisk and our community;
assist the staff at Prisk in promoting the welfare, quality of life and
educational opportunities for our children and,
bring together the relationship between parents and teachers so that
we may create a more informed approach to the education of out
children.
CA PTA’s Mission
The mission of the California State PTA is to positively impact the
lives of all children and families by representing our members
and empowering and supporting them with skills in advocacy,
leadership, and communication.
California State PTA Board of Managers, July 2007
Purposes of the PTA
To promote the welfare of the children and youth in home, school,
community, and place of worship.
To raise the standards of home life.
To secure adequate laws for the care and protection of children
and youth.
To bring into closer relation the home and the school, that parents
and teachers may cooperate intelligently in the education of children and youth.
To develop between educators and the general public such united
efforts as will secure for all children and youth the highest advantages in physical, mental, social, and spiritual education.
Emergency Procedures (cont.)
The decision to keep students at the school will be based upon
whether the streets in the area are open and safe. Tune in to designated radio stations for updates. Students who happen to be on a
school bus during such an emergency will be kept on the bus and
the driver will ask for assistance through radio contact.
In case of a “hazardous release event” near the school area, “Lock
Down” procedures will be implemented to provide in-place protection until such time as an “all clear” signal is given. Students will be
released only to parents and persons identified on the School District
Emergency Card. Please be sure to bring valid identification with
you.
Please be patient and understanding with the student release procedures, as it is the safest and most effective method in an emergency. Please instruct your child to remain at school until you or a
designee arrives.
Emergency/Disaster Procedures
Should an emergency or disaster situation ever arise while school is
in session, we want you to be aware that the schools have made
preparations to respond effectively to such situations. Our school
District has detailed disaster plans which have been formulated to
respond to any major catastrophe.

Long Beach Council PTA
Thirty-Third District PTA
California State PTA
Welcome! from the Prisk PTA
The members of the Prisk PTA would like to sincerely welcome
you to the 2009-10 school year. We look forward to working
hard on enhancing all of the students’ educational experiences with both academic and fun activities throughout the
year. Prisk is so fortunate to have a very active, friendly and
dedicated PTA – but we still need more help, so please feel
welcomed to join us! If you have any questions about what
the PTA does for Prisk, please read through pages 26-31 of this
directory for detailed program descriptions.
The PTA has compiled this PROGRAM & DIRECTORY for the purpose of keeping you and your kids
connected with the school and the
other Prisk families. It is a useful tool
when your child may have questions
about homework or you need to
check with another parent about activities or schedules. Please note that
the student information may be incomplete because participation is
totally voluntary and some have
opted out.
We have also included some important emergency procedure
information on the last two pages. We suggest that you keep
this handy so that it is easily referred to in an actual emergency situation.
IMPORTANT: We would like to remind you that any information
in this document may only be used for the convenience of the
Prisk staff, parents and students. It may not be used for any
commercial purposes or distributed to anywhere outside of the
Prisk community – to do so would be illegal.
We wish you a wonderful year, and if at all possible, please
plug into PTA – you are an essential piece to our success!

What is the Prisk Foundation
’09!’10 PTA Meeting Dates
All funds raised by the Prisk Foundation will be deposited into our account with the LBEF. These funds are
kept in an account for the exclusive use of Prisk.
Why do we need a Foundation?
California public schools are facing a severe funding
crisis. Over the past 6 years Long Beach Unified
School District has had to cut over $90 million.
This does NOT include the proposed cuts for the upcoming fiscal year.
What this translates into is drastically reduced funding
for all “extras” such as Prisk’s Science and Computer
labs. We, as a school, must now find a way to pay for
the salaries of both our Science Teacher and Computer Aide.
This year, the Foundation is funding our Science specialist 4 days/week and a Computer Aide 1 day/week.
In order to continue both of these programs next year,
we need to raise approximately $50,000.
33
Every Piece Is Essential.....
The Prisk Foundation falls under the umbrella of the
Long Beach Education Foundation, a non-profit 501
(C)(3) corporation, started in 1989 to support schools in
the Long Beach Unified School District.
Every Teacher, Every Student, Every Parent
Regular meetings are typically held in the
school library at 7:00 pm on the 4th Tuesday
of each month - except September.

Scrip Sales (All Year, Fundraiser)
Help your school just by buying gift cards to your favorite stores and
restaurants through the Prisk scrip program and by registering your
credit cards with “e-scrip”. A percentage of total sales are then donated to our school, and it doesn’t cost you a thing! Scrip sales happen about twice a week (check the bulletin board by the office for
dates and times) plus we are planning a couple of special events stay tuned for details!
Snack Shack (All Year)
Almost every Thursday your kids will be begging you for $0.50 so that
they can buy a popsicle or other snack from the tables set up outside the PTA work room. Students also have opportunities to earn
free ice cream tickets from their teachers and by participating in
certain activities. Smencils (scented pencils) are also available for
sale, on occasion, for $1.

PTA Membership (Sep – Oct)
Even if you don’t have time to volunteer, it is important for every Prisk
family to become members of the PTA. It serves as a fundraiser, but
more importantly, having a high number of members gives our school
PTA power and influence at the state level.
Pumpkin Walk (October)
Our annual fall carnival is provided for a low cost, good family fun experience including games, activities, food and music. It requires a
huge amount of volunteer support from parents, but typically the cost
is recouped through the purchase of game tickets and food purchases. The 2008-09 carnival made a profit of nearly $500.
Please feel free to ask questions of any of these friendly
faces that you will likely see around campus.

Red Ribbon Week (October)
This is a time focused on helping our kids understand that being drug
free is the most important healthy choice they can make in life. Activities supporting the “Just Say No” message are provided over a week in
October.
Reflections (October)
This is an annual event where students can submit an artistic creation
(visual art, music, literature, photography or dance choreography) for
display and for judging, with the possibility of being moved on to further judging levels all the way to a National level. It is a great opportunity for students to express themselves and be recognized for their artistic talents. Costs are incurred by some display materials, thank you
gifts to judges, student recognition materials and for refreshments and
materials for the award reception/art show.

Hospitality (All Year)
This expense includes a luncheon for the teachers the day before
school begins, refreshments for four choral/instrumental student concerts, three annual PTA ceremonial luncheons, PTA meeting refreshments, and refreshments for W.I.N.G.S which welcomes incoming parents at the beginning of the year.
Lunchtime Library (All Year)
Every Thursday at lunchtime, students are allowed to visit the special
PTA library and check out books (this is separate from the school library). There was virtually no cost to run this program this year, but
money has been spent in the past on bookshelves/storage, magazine
subscriptions, etc.
Meet the Masters (All Year)
Prisk received an arts grant this year which paid fully for this program,
but next year it will likely return as a PTA funding need. This is an educational arts program which teaches about the history of artists, genres and styles of visual art, professional training of volunteers who will
teach an art lesson to children and lead them through an art project
in the classroom three times per year.
Parent Workroom (All Year)
Volunteers provide copying and other support services for the teachers. PTA provides supplies for the workroom such as staplers & staples,
hole punches, binding machine, scissors, glue, tape, etc.
Pennies for Prisk (All Year)
Each classroom has a jar for the collection of students’ loose change/
donations. Every month the jars are collected and counted and
awards are given to the classes with the biggest totals. Profits go directly to the school for purchase of classroom supplies.
Prisk Family Meet & Greet (September 25)
Attend our “Welcome Back” event in September where you can enjoy dinner and some fun. You will have the opportunity to meet other
Prisk families, the Principal, PTA leadership and Foundation leadership. There will also be Spiritwear, Scrip, PTA membership, and emergency kits available for sale.

keep parents connected to the school.

Disaster Preparedness (Sept. – Oct)
Every student is encouraged to provide a disaster kit which the
school stores for use in case of emergency. In September the school
will send a list detailing what needs to be in the kits. You can either
purchase those individual items on your own or, for your convenience, the PTA will make complete kits available for purchase. All kits
are collected, labeled and placed in storage and then returned if
unused at the end of the school year.
Environmental Stewardship (All Year)
This committee accomplishes many “green” projects at Prisk, including recycling, anti-litter program, garden maintenance costs and the
new landscaping and energy garden in the front of the
school. Money is mainly spent on professional tree trimming in the
garden which our volunteers cannot do. The profit from the recycling program helps to cover about half of these costs.

Fifth Grade Activities (May/June)
We strive to make the 5th grade year special for every student in our
graduating class - including an exclusive 5th grade t-shirt, a graduation ceremony (rented stage, chairs, decorations, refreshments), a
graduation picnic, and a yearbook. PTA donates an amount to help
offset the costs to the 5th graders’ families.
Fun Run (March 12, 2010, Fundraiser)
This is PTA’s one big fundraising event of the year. Teachers and students are encouraged to find donors to sponsor them for this jog-athon type event. It requires huge support from the parents for both
the gathering of sponsors and in helping to run the event. The kids
earn prizes for participation, and special awards go to the students
who raise the most funds. This big fundraiser is needed to support all
of our programs for the year.

Directory/Program (October)
The Prisk Program & Directory is a wonderful way for you and your kids
to stay connected with the school and the other families at Prisk. Families volunteer to provide their contact information, which is then published in a phone book, which includes many other useful bits of information. It is a great tool when your child may have questions about
homework or if you need to check with another parent about school
activities and schedules.
