Greetings! Things for the 08-09 school year are well underway. This past week soccer practice started and also all of the new families have now met with me for an introductory session. The teachers return full time tomorrow although most have already been at work in their rooms this week.
Please note the following items:
Parent Orientation - A Required Parent Event - is Monday, August 25th.
-Parents of students in Grades K-6 - 5:30 PM
-Parents of students in Grades 7-12 - 7:00 PM
-Please note that space is tight in the classrooms this evening and as such we request that students NOT come to this event.
-Note - parents with students in BOTH divisions need only attend one session, preferably the Upper School session
3 Parent Service Opportunities:
Please contact Wendy if you are interested.
1) Shopper for refreshments for parent orientation - approximately one hour of time
2) Upper School parent to set up & host the Lower School reception (5pm - 6pm)
3) Lower School parent to host and clean up Upper School reception (6:30 - 7:30pm)
Optional Care Sign Up - Needed Now!
August 27 and 28 - 3:15 - 5:30 PM
If you intend for your K-6 student to stay after school on one or both of those days during the first week of school please contact Wendy right away - otherwise we are going to assume by the minimal enrollment that this option is not needed for those days.
Welcome Denise Mannette to our Kindergarten classroom. As many of you know Miss Beth will not be teaching full time this year in order for her to meet the needs of her own family. We are thrilled to welcome Miss Denise to our faculty.
We are holding a Kindergarten Meet and Greet (for parents and students) Friday, August 22 from 8-9 AM.
Teacher Marc Sliney is working on getting back to us from his stay in England. His visa paperwork is progressing - but not complete. He and I are in communication and look forward to his return no later than this time next year.
Soccer - Our soccer team is in search of a few more players - male or female grades 6-12. Please let me know if you are interested and I'll get you caught up.
