NOTE TO ALL PARENTS
A reminder to all parents and visitors to please come by the front office and sign in before proceeding to your child's classroom. We have too many interruptions during the day, as the teachers are trying to instruct our students.
Parents, please do not send food with your children that takes more than 10 seconds to warm up. Your assistance in this matter is very much appreciated, as we do not have the appropriate assistance needed in order for us to do this for the children.
REGISTRATION
If you plan to bring your child/children back for the next school year, come by the school office and register them. The registration fee will be $150.00 until March 31st. As of April 1st, the fee will go up to $200.00 per student.
BBQ TICKETS
BBQ tickets will be disbursed today. Deadline for submitting BBQ money is Thursday, April 1, 2010. We will need as many volunteers as possible for Friday evening and Saturday morning, April 9th and 10th in preparation for BBQ. Volunteer lists have been posted outside each classroom door for any one who would like to assist us in this project. In addition, our very own Stanley the Steer will be posted right outside the school office for anyone who wishes to donate to this worthy cause.
