No More Pretzel Fridays

Please note that the last pretzel Friday was last week! There will be no pretzels served this Friday due to Field Day and the following Friday is an early dismissal and the last day of school! The 5th grade committee would like to thank you for your support and we hope that your child has enjoyed the pretzels! 

BT Welcome Lawn Signs

Are you interested in returning your family's BT welcome lawn sign for reuse? There is a box in the main office for lawn sign returns. If you have the metal spike, extra credit! 

This is completely optional, as everyone is welcome to save their signs. 

Thank you,

New Family Welcome Committee

Membership Toolkit Directory Information

In alignment with the Hopewell School District, the Bear Tavern PTO will continue to use Membership Toolkit for our Student Directory and Communications for the 2023-2024 school year.  

Once you update your Membership Toolkit Account you will have access to the directory, PTO newsletters, donation links, volunteer opportunities, and much more.

You must update your information every year to be included in the directory! For those families who have children attending other Hopewell Schools, you will need to update your information for each school that your children attend.

Here's how: 

  1. LOGIN at https://www.beartavernpto.com. (You must login with the email address where this newsletter arrived.) Once the Primary Account is set up, the Primary User can "invite" other email addresses to access the account.  This allows the Secondary User to have their own login information, but still have access to the family account.
  2. For those who are new to Membership Toolkit, please follow these instructions:
    1. Go to https://www.beartavernpto.com.
    2. Click on the Register/Login button.
    3. Select "New User".
    4. Select "Create Account" and fill in your name, email (please use the email where this newsletter arrived), and password.  
    5. Click "verify my email" and then check your email for a link to complete the process. The link expires within 2 hours. If you do not receive the email, check your spam or junk folders.
    6. Once you have verified your email address, log back in and finish the 3 step registration process.
  3. Complete the Parent/Family and Student Information.
  4. Complete the Directory/Publish Preferences. By marking active, you are allowing other Bear Tavern families to see whatever contact information you choose to share. This is a great feature to foster friendships with playdates, birthday parties, etc.
