Greetings!
Thanks to everyone for the great turnout at Back To School Night. We hope the evening was informative and useful for you and will set you up to get the most out of your family conference next week. Thanks, also, to the parents who ran the book fair, all those who supported the fair and, especially, to Scott Mitchell for orchestrating the entire process.
This promises to be another very busy week.
As you know it is CLUB PREVIEW WEEK!
All clubs, except the two art clubs, will meet this week for students to “check out” offerings without making a long term commitment. Actual sign up is due this Friday (October 2) and then clubs will continue until the Winter Break with a fixed enrollment. Extra sign up forms are available on the office door.
No more paper lunch orders! As we discussed at Back To School Night the online ordering system is going into place. Orders will be taken online for the week of October 12 until midnight on Wednesday, October 7. Be sure to set up your account several days in advance so there is time for it to be approved - deadline for account set up is Monday, October 5th.
Equipment needs....
Before we go out to purchase we wanted to check for any households that had the following items collecting dust and were willing to donate/lend:
-drum stool
-3 microphones
-Small PA system (with 2 speakers, amplifier and mixing board with at least 8 inputs)
-Electric keyboard (touch sensitive with at least 76 keys)
-tambourine
-laptop computer
LOWER SCHOOL STUDENTS who plan to use Optional Care this Friday (October 2) or next week during conferences need to sign up right away. Enrollment on a few days - including this coming Friday afternoon - is low enough that we may have to cancel.

The trip to Spain has a sign up deadline of November 1. Ms Celia and/or the tour company (NETC) can answer your questions.
