• WhatsApp Guidelines: eng / span

🎒 Grade-Level WhatsApp (moderated)

• Grade-specific info only. Class events, field trips, and logistics for your grade.
• Note: Grade-level updates aren’t sent via the listserv.
• To request a grade chat link, email CommsChair@keypta.org with your child’s grade.

📧 PTA E-mail Listserv (moderated)

• Essentials only. Official updates with key dates, deadlines, and links—without extra conversation.
