We have sent home the "Pink" re-registration materials for the 2010-2011 school year. These materials went home with the oldest and/or only student in grades JK-7th.

Current students K thru 7th grade only need to return the pink registration form with the registration fee, by the due date. Transitions, PreK and Kindergarten Registration - The Admissions Process for all Transitions classes, PreK and Kindergarten has begun (as stated in previous Parent Memos and school letters sent out in January). This process is separate from the pink registration form that went home in January for grade school student registration.

Address the envelope to Mrs. Pucci "PIZZA". If you ordered lunch on February 10th, the snow day, please deduct the amount you paid. I do not want to be giving out 150 credit slips to all the students. The 6,7,and 8th grade have a new style of receiving their lunch.

Parents if your child becomes ill with an infectious illness such as "pink eye", strep throat or lice, you must contact the school office within 24 hours of the diagnosis to let us know. You must follow the doctor's guidelines as to how long you have to keep your child home. For lice infestation you must follow the instructions of the treatment that you choose to use an/or the doctor's guidelines. In the event of lice, the student's hair will be inspected by the school nurse prior to the student returning to class. There has been alot of sicknesses going around school. Please talk with your child about NOT sharing food, drink and proper hand cleaning hygiene. These simple words could mean the difference between missed days and a healthy rest of the school year. Please do not double-park your car during the afternoon pick-up. It creates a frustrating and dangerous situation for others. Feel free to park in our lot east of the gym if street parking is unavailable.
