MESSAGE FROM MR. MEDWED

 

20111215 Marc PictureDear Parents,

 

I hope that you all enjoyed your winter vacations and our first week back at school!  I want to share a few "housekeeping" items that are important for everyone to know.


1.  It is time to re-enroll for next year!  This is so important for us as in order to plan appropriately for next year, it is important that we hear from every family no later than January 17, 2012.  If you have questions about the re-enrollment process, please be in touch with us.  Each and every student and family is very important to us and we want you to be a part of our continued growth as a school!


2.  Please remember that the weather outside has turned colder.  Our students go outside for recess almost every day, so please be sure that your child comes to school with appropriate cold-weather gear--jacket, hat, gloves, and of course, snow pants and boots if we should ever get snow! The kids very much need and enjoy their time outside and we want everyone to be dressed appropriately!


3.  Lastly, please DO NOT park in the bus/van lane during pick up time--please park in a regular parking space and walk in to get your child.  Parking in the bus/van late makes it challenging for the bus and van and can cause a crowded and dangerous situation.

 
I appreciate your attention to these items.  I am looking forward to a great second half of the year.  Our 8th grade is getting excited for their Israel trip, which departs on February 1 and there are so many wonderful things that are planned for all of our students both in their classrooms and as a whole school.  Watch this weekly newsletter for more information and please remember that you are always welcome to visit us and join us in school!
