Dear Parents,
Tomorrow is Book Character Day. Ms. Napolitan and the rest of the staff
have been working very hard to present us with a better activity every
year.
On Tuesday, November 2nd, we will be having an assembly to kick off Family
Heritage Month. A dance group from Denny will be one of the featured
attractions.
Our Monthly Recognition Award winners are being selected this week by
classroom teachers. We hope to acknowledge these students during the
assembly on Tuesday.
In the September 30th Parent Bulletin I mentioned that we would be adding
a primary reading group with the use of federal class size reduction. We
had a person who accepted the job, but later had to decline the position.
We are back to square one with this search. In addition the AmeriCorps,
position is still not filled. The Bon Marche' is assisting us in the
search to fill that position.
There has been one adjustment to the new Disciplinary Plan.
Kindergartners and grade one students will be given in-school suspensions
when they violate the zero tolerance policy. A complete outline of the
entire policy will be sent home during conferences.
Have a fun-filled and safe Halloween weekend.
Sincerely,
Barry S. Dorsey
Principal
Medication at School
As the cold and flu season begins, we are finding a number of children
bringing medicine to school. Students MAY NOT bring over the counter
medication to school. Students that have prescription medicine must
bring the medication to the office with a completed AUTHORIZATION FOR
MEDICATIONS TO BE TAKEN AT SCHOOL form. This form was in the Parent
Information Packet that went home the first Friday of school in September.
If you need another copy of the form please call the office at 933-5350
and we will send a copy home with your child. For students that must take
medication three time a day, please ask the doctor if the child can take
it before school, when they get home from school and before bed. If a
parent wants the child to take over the counter medication during school
hours, the parent must come in and administer the medication themselves.
