Welcome to the 2010-11 school year. We are excited about the plans we have made for our 58th year. We want to say hello to all of our new friends and welcome back to all of our old friends.
T-Shirts:
If you would like to order t-shirts or sweatshirts, please pick up a sheet from school.
School Pictures:
Our school pictures will be taken on Tuesday, September 28. Please send your child in regular clothes rather than dress clothes since we will continue as close to our regular day schedule as possible. Please have your child at school by 8:30 on picture day.
Reminders:
- Children only need to bring a lunch box to school. Please bring an extra set of clothes in a ziploc bag with every item labeled. Do not send backpacks, blankets, toys, etc.
- Please send only the foods that are ready to eat as is, no warm ups. Please pack spoons and flip top containers for your child's drink. Please do not send water bottles or anything with a screw off top. These spill easily.
- Please don't pick up your child between the hours of 12:30 - 2:00 for it is very disruptive for our resters. For those children going home at 2:00, pick up with be on the sidewalk or in the schoolroom on cold or rainy days.
- Make sure your child eats breakfast before coming to school.
- In order to make the morning drop off run more efficiently, we are asking that you say your good-byes and leave promptly. The longer you linger, the harder the good-byes will be. The teachers need to be engaged with the children. If you have any concerns that you would like to discuss concerning your child, we will be happy to set up a conference.
- Extended day hours begin at 2:30. There will be no grace period.
Here are a few reminders that can keep your child and others well:
- If your child is sick, please keep him or her at home.
- Please don't return your child to school until all symptoms are gone for at least 24 hours.
- Please remember that we are not administering medications. Ask your doctor for a twice daily medication that can be given at home.
Fundraiser:
We are planning a fundraiser for the school. Call your friends and relatives to purchase Christmas wrapping paper early! All orders are due October 1. No late orders will be taken. We hope to add to our manipulatives, games, etc.
Covered Dish Dinner:
Thursday, September 16 is our covered dish dinner. It will begin at 6:30. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to meet the staff and other parents. Please arrange for a sitter so that both parents are able to attend.
The menu is as follows:
Ms. Claudia's Group - desserts

Please bring one of your childn's t-shirts on a wire hanger by Friday, September 10. This is only going to be used for "looks" for the covered dish dinner.
