Hi Everyone:

Reflections:
This week we started our regular routine. I have really enjoyed meeting more parents, and talking with them by phone and e-mail.

Important Dates:
8-25-09 Entertainment Books go home.
8-25-09 to 8-27-09 Scholastic Book Fair
8-26-09 Open House 6-8 pm.
8-31-09 Picture Day, wear uniform, please.
9-02-09 $1.00 Dress Down Day
9-07-09 Labor Day-No School
9-11-09 Mid-quarter

New Info:
On Monday, Entertainment books are going home for sale. They have a lot of great coupons in them, so please look through them. It is $30.00 to purchase a book. Please bring the money to me, and let me know if you need any additional books. If you do not wish to purchase a book, return the book to me as soon as possible.

Our Open House is Wednesday, 8-26-09, from 6-8 pm. This is a chance for everyone to become familar with our school, and it is an excellent time to visit the classroom, and see some of the things we are learning. I will not be able to discuss your child's academics during the Open House, but I would love to meet with you at another time. Please let me know if you wish to establish a conference.

We are having our pictures taken on Monday, 8-31-09. Students will wear their uniform for this picture.

On the first Wednesday of each month students are allowed to wear appropriate clothes of their choice to school if they pay $1.00. Our first $1.00 Dress Down Day is 9-2-09.
