Welcome to Trace Elementary School, San Jose, CA!
Our PTO Mission Statement:
We are committed to support the academic, artistic and social development of each child that comes here to learn, by strengthening the link between home and school. We will encourage the ideals of parental involvement and teacher support in the endeavor of educating our children. And as members of the community we will work to reinforce the bond between neighborhood and school.
Next PTO Meeting: Tuesday, February 12, 6:30 in the Media Center.
Come join us! It's a great opportunity for new parents and new ideas to be incorporated into our organization! We would love for you to be part of the TRACE PTO! Parent volunteers are the key to our success.
Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions. Our email addresses are all available in the left column.
Trace is registered with several programs that will provide the school with much needed funds, and we, as parents, don't have to do anything extra! Sound good? Just:
- Register your Safeway cards (and debit/credit cards) with eScrip
- Collect Box Tops for Education
- Collect Campbells Labels
- Collect Tyson's Chicken Project A+ panels
- Sell on eBay & designate a portion to Trace
- Turn in inkjet printer cartridges & cell phones (to the office) for recycling
- Order uniforms through FrenchToast.com using Trace's school code: QS5KDMW
Trace is a unique elementary school: We have a full time drama teacher and full time music teacher. In addition, our school boasts a dance teacher, band & orchestra directors and an art teacher. Isn't that fabulous? Studies show children are better thinkers with early exposure to the arts, and we at Trace already knew that! If you'd like more information on what is available at Trace, please call the school at 408.535.6257.
A Note From Principal Martinez
Hello, PTO Families,
One of the best things about Trace is the support from the parent community! You have so many activities and ideas for making the school the best it can be. Many of the PTO plans are events that promote asset building in children. One example of this is the Holiday in the Garden. This community event is something that builds respect and regard for the neighborhood and school and contributes to a child feeling more connected. Another example is the Box Top collection. Every child can participate in giving to the school in this way and feel good about the contribution. In addition, when families congregate at a pizza place for a fundraiser, the message to the child is that the family and the school are working together.
It is my plan to meet with your co-presidents, Jennifer & Vanessa, on a regular basis to discuss events, share thoughts, and collaborate on projects for Trace. I welcome any imput from all of you throughout the year.
Finally, I just want to let you know that even though I have been at Trace for a short time, it already feels like "home" due to the warm reception I have had from the Trace community.
Thank you,
Mary Martinez
Parent Communication with SJUSD Personnel
In an effort to promote easier parent communication within the district community, we have established a way for parents to register their email address with the district's Technology Department. This will enable us to identify parent emails that need to get through our security spam blocker. If an email is being blocked, or if you want to access our district email system, you can follow these steps: We want to encourage parent communication and hope this is a helpful process for our parents. We hope this helps to open the communication lines! Call the school office if you are still having difficulty after following this process. Also, PLEASE NOTE: To change address, phone numbers, or other information in your child's file, please contact the District Office at 535.6000. And to report absences, please call the Attendance Hotline: 535.6583
