Email Notification Service

Parents
The service that we use to automatically notify you when the blog is updated has changed their terms of service in such a way that an ad will begin showing up at the bottom of the email that comes to you. Your email address is still not being shared with anyone other than the school! The mere placement of advertising in school communications is of concern to us, especially since we have no control over what the ad may be.

We are exploring other means of providing this service to you at this time. For now, we ask your patience as we work through the concern. In the meantime, if you receive an ad that is objectionable to you, we would appreciate your notifying the school, and holding onto it so that it may be forwarded to proper personnel.

Thank you for your patience!

CBI-Month of October

Dear Parents,

Conference Week is over and we're headed back to our regular schedules. As a reminder, CBI would have normally taken place on October 20th, but because of Conference Week, we've replaced it with Friday, October 27th. Money that was sent in will remain on the file for that date. We'll be back on schedule starting November (1st and 3rd week of each month). If you have any questions of concerns, please feel free to contact me at the school.                                    

(We will also feed the ducks at the park. Bread is not mandatory, but a couple of slices will be helpful)          

Location: Laurel Park (Whitlock Avenue)

Lunch: Wendy's ($5.00 minimum)

Departure: 11:00am

Returning: 1:00pm

Progress Reports!

Wait! Don't Panic......

We did not forget Progress Reports. We've just updated our Progress forms, so you'll be receiving your child's report SOON!

Keep 'em Moving!

Parents,

We believe that your child should receive education in every way possible. Therefore, we've implemented 'extra' specials to your child's schedule. Not only will they receive Speech, Occupational Therapy, and Adaptive P.E, but we now get to soak our brains in a world of music notes with our new music teacher, Ms. Swint, who is also experienced in music therapy.  We will also get our fingers wet and colorful with exciting activities from our awesome art teacher, Ms. Nalley. So get ready because we're going to "Keep 'em Moving" while we continue to 'Dive into Learning!' 

We Need You!

Parents,

PTA is EXPLODING with many exciting things this year! We need your participation. Please join for only $3.50/per person so that we'll be recognized as having 100% participation along with other incentives that we'll receive throughout the school year.
