HILLSIDE COMMITTEES – IMPORTANT POINTS
Committee Name: _______________________________School Year: _____________
Chairperson Name/Contact Info: ___________________________________________
Budget: ______________*Note* A list of anticipated expenses must be submitted to the executive board for review.
Thank you for volunteering your time for a Hillside Committee. By working together, we can accomplish great things for our school and community.
Please keep in mind the following:
Budget – Most committees, but not all, have a budget to work with. Please do your best to stay within this amount and not to exceed what has been allotted. All of our money is donated so it is important to be fiscally prudent and not reckless when spending money for your committee. We recognize there can be exceptions but keep in mind expenditures should benefit the student body as a whole and not just a select few individuals.
Tax Exempt – As a non-profit organization, we have tax exempt status that can be utilized to save money. Forms are available in the Treasurer’s folder which is located in the PTA box in the front office at school.
Negotiate – It is not unreasonable to get a price quote from a competing company or negotiate a lower rate. We are a non-profit so every dollar in savings really adds up.
Plan accordingly – Know and meet your deadlines.
Communicate – Chairpersons should contact each and every volunteer. Volunteers should contact their chairperson. Don’t wait for someone to reach out to you – take the initiative if you haven’t heard from your committee.
Record Keeping – If you have information that is relevant and/or helpful, please keep it together (and share it) so it can be used in the future.
Getting the Word Out – Any flyers or correspondence with the teachers and/or parents must be approved by the PTA presidents and Principal.
Confidentiality – Please respect privacy. Personal information, especially email addresses, is to be kept private and not shared in any circumstances. Please sign and return the attached confidentiality statement to an executive board member immediately.
Problems – Not everything goes as planned. If you get in a pinch or need help, please contact one of the executive board members so we can help to resolve the issue.
Volunteers – a list of volunteers and their contact information is attached.
Planning & Evaluation – use the attached “Program and Event Planning & Evaluation Form” to help you plan your event.
