WEEK OF JANUARY 4 - 6, 2012

Dear Parents,

It is wonderful to be back and with lots of expectations for the New Year 2012. We hope you had a restful and joyful Christmas break. During the break the children tend to forget or need to review some of the concepts we have been previously studying. This week we will review letters, sounds, vocabulary, we will also review mathematical concepts.

During this week we are going to be talking about our New Year’s Resolution. We are going to post the children’s resolutions for you to read them as soon as we have them.

There will be no Kindergarten Kafe since this will be a very short week. Next week we will advise who is in charge of bringing the ingredients.

 HERE ARE A FEW REMINDERS TO START OFF THE YEAR RIGHT!

Sweaters/Jackets and Other Objects: we ask parents to label all their child’s belongings with a permanent marker. This makes it easier for us to help you look for things if they are misplaced or lost. We also ask for your cooperation by sending back with your child any item he/she brings home that does not belong to him, and to notify the homeroom teacher about it (by text message, email or phone call).

Report Cards and Conferences: Report Cards will be issued on Friday, January 13. This is an early dismissal (AM Schedule) day for students. Conferences are on a need basis.

Parent Workshop: Our school counselor, Ms. Ivonne Casco, will be hosting a workshop for parents on Friday, January 20, at 1:30 p.m.

Professional Development Wednesday: Our third Staff Development Wednesday will take place on Wednesday, January 18. This is an early dismissal day (PM Schedule) for students.

DPTO Fun Run: Our annual school Fun Run will take place on Saturday, January 28, from 8:30 a.m. There will be the traditional run, games, and a complimentary pancake and fruit breakfast to follow. The pledge forms were sent before the Winter Holiday; however, if you would like an additional copy, please download it from the administration blogs.

We wish you all the best this year! Welcome back!

We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day. Edith Lovejoy Pierce
