We want to see more families riding their bikes to (VALLEY VIEW) That’s why we’ve invited the BikeMobile to provide free tune ups & repairs for parents and children.


The BikeMobile can fix flat tires, adjust brakes and gears, and even replace broken or worn out parts like chains, seats, and tires. The only thing it can’t do is replace missing wheels or gears. While the mechanics work on your bike they’ll explain how to keep it running smooth. 


Bike or no bike, everyone is welcome to attend to learn about maintenance, safety, and more! This is a first come, first serve event. Space is limited to 20 people. 


Bring your bikes to (VALLEY VIEW) on _3/25/2022_ between_3-5_. We look forward to seeing you there! 


Also, be sure to connect with the BikeMobile on Facebook and Instagram

DON'T FORGET...
The Pleasanton PTA is pleased to announce a 2022 Community Education Event:
Let’s Crack Open the Grading Conversation

Join us to learn how grading practices that are accurate, bias-resistant, and motivational can improve learning, minimize grade inflation, reduce failure rates, and become a lever for creating stronger teacher-student relationships and more caring classrooms.

Joe Feldman is the author of “Grading for Equity: What It Is, Why It Matters, and How It Can Transform Schools and Classrooms”. His presentation will start promptly at 6:30 and will be followed by a short panel discussion with PUSD students and teachers.

For questions please email Pleasanton PTA committee chair Sharon Beckley at  communityconcerns@pleasantonpta.org.
