Announcements January 7, 2013

Happy New Year!  I hope you had a great Christmas break with your family and friends and an even better New Year.  Getting back into the routine of school can be very difficult, especially with 2 weeks off.  Kids have been sleeping late, playing with their friends and new toys, and it is now time to get back to school.  I hope that tonight, you will spend some time talking to your children about the importance of getting back into the routine of school and ask your child questions to jog their memories about the discipline expectations and academic expectations of the school. It will help them get their minds ready to get back to school on a positive note.

End of day transportation plans are a good thing to talk with your child about so they remember what the plans are for each day.  If your child takes the bus and the car home, it is good to remind them of which day to take which transportation.    If you have changes to anything in your child's life whether it be transportation, health, changes at home, please contact your child's teacher, assistant principal, counselor or nurse to keep them informed.  The information is helpful so we can best serve your child.

Here are the announcements for this week.
