Do you have suggestions for PTA Programs geared toward families?

PTA Programs manages a budget which funds and coordinates programming for our Pinchbeck students and/or families. Ideas for Programs come from school administrators, teachers, students- and you! Did you know in September PTA Programs hosted the Virginia Repertory Theatre for all grades to attend a performance of “Have You Filled a Bucket”? This coordinated to lessons planned by our school counselors for all students. And in February, PTA Programs is hosting Mad Science at Pinchbeck for all grades to attend a science show related to SOLs. We are currently coordinating with our teachers on several ideas for students this spring, but are interested in Program ideas from YOU geared toward our Pinchbeck families. Need inspiration for ideas? How about Family Game Night, Internet Safety, Leader in Me for Families, Family Service Day… any program idea that supports, educates, or strengthens our Pinchbeck families is welcome!


Email programs@pinchbeckpta.com with your suggestions. Thank you! 

Apply for Free School Meals- Applications are always OPEN!

Circumstances change throughout the school year. To assist you, applications are accepted for the Free or Reduced-Price Meal program at any time during the 2023- 2024 school year. Reduced Priced meal fees are being waived this year, so if you qualify for a Reduced Priced meal, your meals will be free! Visit this webpage for additional information Pinchbeck Elementary PTA - Henrico County, VA - Free and Reduced-Price Meals (membershiptoolkit.com)

Did you know Pinchbeck had 38.11% students qualify for free or reduced-priced meals in 2022-23? If a school exceeds a threshold of 40% students qualifying for free or reduced-price meals, under the "Community Eligibility Provision", the entire school will be designated as a free meal school the following year. This is why some neighboring elementary and middle schools near Pinchbeck receive free lunches for all students.
