Engage

Thank you for caring about Amidon-Bowen Elementary School.  You can be a powerful voice for all children. There are many ways you and the community can support us.  Please see below for different avenues to engage in this work and positively impact Amidon-Bowen!

Volunteer

There are many wonderful things that the PTA is involved with in our school and community. None of these events would be possible without help from all of us. 

Adults who volunteer at more than one school event or who would like to chaperone school field trips must go through the DCPS fingerprinting process. You must (a) fill out this DCPS online application, (b) get tested for TB or have proof of a negative TB test within the past year, and (c) get fingerprinted by DCPS.

Please consider helping from home or at the school, during the day or after hours.  There are many different ways in which you can help. You don’t have to give up all of your spare time, but if you could volunteer just a little of your time it would make a world of difference to the School and the PTA.

Join the PTA

The PTA meets virtually on the second Wednesday of the month. Dates and links are posted to the school’s networking app (Bloomz). Community members interested in joining meetings should send an email to: amidonbowendc@gmail.com

Attend a LSAT Meeting

The Local School Advisory Team (LSAT)  is a group of elected and appointed members that exists for every DCPS school. The team consists of parents, teachers, non-instructional school staff, and a community member. The purpose is to provide the principal with suggestions and advice about ways to achieve the school’s academic goals and to help raise general concerns or suggestions of the school community.

The LSAT meets  virtually on the third Thursday of the month at 5 PM.  Anyone can attend the LSAT meetings. Meeting information is posted to the school’s networking app (Bloomz). Community members interested in joining meetings should send an email to: amidonbowendc@gmail.com

Attend an Open House

Come meet our principal, observe classes, meet current parents, and tour the school.
