JANUARY 9 - 13


HELLO CHICOS & CHICAS,

Reminders:

  • Do not forget to make your index cards with rules and procedures on a daily basis.
  • Homework must be kept in your binder at all times.
  • Sweaters/Jackets and Other Objects: we ask parents (especially the Elementary parents) to label all their child’s belongings with a permanent marker. This makes it easier for us to help you look for things if they are misplaced or lost. Furthermore, we ask for your cooperation by sending back with your child any item he/she brings home that does not belong to him, and to notify the homeroom teacher about it (by text message, email or phone call).
  • Parent Workshop: Our school counselor, Ms. Ivonne Casco, will be hosting a workshop for parents on Friday, January 20; at 1:30 p.m. Information will be posted on her blog.
  • Professional Development Wednesday: Our third Staff Development Wednesday will take place on Wednesday, January 18. Please note that we are meeting on the 18th instead of the last Wednesday of the month. This is an early dismissal day (PM Schedule) for students.
