Carnation Elementary’s Tiger Watch, a PTSA volunteer program, draws inspiration from the national Watch D.O.G.S. initiative to cultivate a more positive school climate. Our program actively seeks a diverse range of volunteers, particularly encouraging male role models such as dads, uncles, grandpas, and other father figures. We warmly welcome parents, family, and community members from all backgrounds to contribute as positive influences, helping to create a safe and supportive learning environment for every student.
Your Voice Matters! Be sure to Vote YES for the levy renewals and bond.
Come show your support and sign up to be a sign waver!
Cupid’s Clay Café is this Wednesday, and we are so excited! 
This event is for Carnation Elementary families who have RSVP’d, and we are truly blown away by the number of students planning to paint with us.
This event is for Carnation Elementary families who have RSVP’d, and we are truly blown away by the number of students planning to paint with us.
To make sure everyone has enough space and a comfortable experience, we’ll be encouraging families to attend during the following time frames:
-
Grades K–2: 5:00–6:00 PM
-
Grades 3–5: 6:00–7:00 PM
We understand these time slots may not work for everyone, but this structure helps ensure a positive and relaxed environment for all participants.
In addition, we have a low-sensory experience reserved for students who would benefit from a calmer setting with reduced noise from 4:30–5:00 PM.
We can’t wait to see you there and celebrate creativity together!
If you have any questions, please email ceptsa@outlook.com
