Long Reach PTSA Programs and Events

Back-to-School Night

Back-to-School Night is an annual event held within the first month of school.  School administrators and staff are introduced to parents and parents have an opportunity to visit each of their student’s classes for a brief introduction to the teacher and an overview of course content. 

Mid-Year Check-Up

Mid-Year Check-Up is an annual meeting in which parents, students and administrators check-in to review the status of the academic and social progress of students and the school.  Data regarding HSA’s, student quarterly progress in access courses (Algebra 1, Geometry, English 2, and Biology), and attendance and suspension is used to suggest continued directions and actions for the remaining semesters.  An emphasis is placed on describing resources available to assist students at all levels including AP, Honors, Regular, and Seminar course levels.

After Prom Party

The After Prom Party was reinstated as an annual event in 2005.  It is designed to provide students with a safe environment to continue the fun and festivities of the Prom.  Activities have included bowling, a DJ, vendors, game room with pool table and drawings for prizes.  In 2006, the grand prize was a television set.  Each year the festivities and prizes are expanded.

Reflections

LRHS PTSA is providing an opportunity for our students to participate in Reflections, the National PTA annual cultural arts competition.  The theme of this year’s program is “My favorite place.”  Students can submit entries in six areas:  photography, dance choreography, music composition, literature, visual arts, and film/video production.  Information and applications can be obtained from talent coordinators at Long Reach High School.  The coordinators are:

Music Composition:             Bill String

Visual Arts:                          Martha Holshue

Dance Choreography:          Robin Flood

Photography:                      George Day

Literature:                           Julia Hickman

Parents of the Reach

Parents of the REACH (PR) is a newly revived parent volunteer program sponsored by the LRHS PTSA.  Parent volunteers assist with hall monitoring, greeting visitors in the main office, and helping students and staff in the guidance office as well as the main office.  Since the first day of school, PR has maintained a presence in the school between 7:15 and 8:20 AM.  Our ultimate goal is to have parents present to help maintain an atmosphere of order and respect throughout the day through the school day.
