Parent Bulletin
January 11, 2000
Dear Parents,
I hope everyone had a restful and joyous holiday season.
We are having our Martin Luther King Assembly tomorrow. I want to thank
the staff and students for their efforts to put together a
program with
very limited time.
Later this month our students will be taking school wide
Reading and
Math tests. These
tests will assist teachers in making program changes
at mid-year. It also
gives a measure of growth for students over the
first half year.
Please be reminded that Monday, January 15th there will be
no classes in
commemoration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.s Birthday.
Sincerely,
Barry Dorsey

Auction: An auction
packet was sent home today with the students. The

sheet and
procurement information.
Auction items are slowly trickling in.
WE

project and/or basket for the auction. Please help the AHPTSA raise
money for technology and student enrichment by helping with
the class
project or helping with the above-mentioned

If your child will be late to school so they can attend
these daytime
visitations, please call the Arbor Heights office in the
morning (or the
night before) so we can adjust the attendance card
appropriately.
(My advice, if you have time, would be to attend PTSA
meetings at the
schools you are interested in. This is a way to get a feel for teacher
and parent involvement in the school. Good Luck! Mrs. Rogers)
