Well, we've made it through the first full week of school, and your kids have been outstanding! Please congratulate them for me. Our 6th graders are navigating the campus well, and things are settling in nicely.
Here are a few announcements:
1. Please make plans to attend our PTO night next Tuesday, August 25 at 7:00 p.m. in Willett Hall. Our teachers are looking forward to meeting you!
2. Everyone is concerned about the spread of the Swine Flu, and we are doing everything we can to keep things as clean as possible on our campus. Please help us out by reviewing with your child proper hand washing techniques, as well as coughing/sneezing etiquette. If your child is coming down with flu-like symptoms, or is running a fever, please keep them home from school. This is our best shot at containing this disease. Thanks so much for your help!
3. Thanks for your help with our carpool line after school. We're managing to clear everyone out a little faster than we did last year. Your cooperation with our guidelines is most helpful and greatly appreciated.
4. I strongly encourage you to check our this blog site by Dr. Frank Buck, an expert in the area of organization. He has recently posted a series of articles entitled "Managing School The Easy Way" that I think you will find very helpful. Dr. Buck will be a guest on our campus when teachers return to school after the Christmas holiday, and we are looking forward to learning how we can all be more organized in our work with your children.
Here are our tests for the coming week:
