PTSA Spirit Wear

Our fall line is in and it's 🔥 Browse, try them on for size and go home with your new #PanthersPride gear.

We'll be at Back-to-School Nights all month long: AMS Sept. 7 & 14; CRS Sept. 20 & 21; AHS Sept. 28. Follow @ardsleyspiritwear on Instagram.

Join the Family Picnic

Have you met our friends at the new Ardsley Special Education PTA (SEPTA)? The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee is joining forces for a Family Picnic on Sept. 9 from 2-4 pm at Matthiessen Park in Irvington.

You bring the blanket, we'll bring the snacks and games!

Class Grants In Action

One of the ways we give back directly to the schools is through dedicated grants. We're so excited to announce funding for new weights in the AHS fitness room. We also recently delivered a new coffee cart to the AMS special education class, so students can bring delicious beverages to staff members and raise money for selected charities.

Stay tuned for the next round of grants as we start the school year.

Have You Linked Your DeCicco's Card?

Stop. Drop everything. Link your card.

You must relink your card every year, and 1% of your purchases go back to our schools between September and June.

Save Those Stinky Old Sneakers

When you shop for new sneakers, we'll take the old ones off your hands–er, feet. Starting Sept. 5, donate them in the bins at all three schools and we'll earn up to $7 for every pair recycled. It's a win-win-win.

Attention, 8th Graders!

2024 sweatshirts are on sale! Order by Sept. 22 and celebrate with your classmates. Get it with your last name on the back or keep it simple, your choice.

Get the PTSA App

Our website is pretty sweet; now have you seen the app? Access the calendar, volunteer opportunities and special events on your phone. Just visit the App Store or Google Play.
