Principal's Newsletter - November 5, 2014

This is the time of year that I am immersed in visiting classes. This is my favorite art of my job.  I have seen such excellent and engaged instruction and learning!  I truly appreciate the hard work and professionalism of our staff.

 

Parent Conferences

See you this Thursday and Friday!

Drop-In Baby-Sitting for the November 6th Conferences

Student Voices will be providing baby-sitting services for parents who are not able to reserve a baby-sitter during their children’s scheduled conferences on Thursday, November 6th from 9:00 am until 8:00 pm.  Students will be located in CafĂ©’ 1 across the hall from the Main Office.  Children will be able to watch a Disney movie, play a game or be creative at the coloring center.  Please note that there will not be services available on Friday, November 7.

Safe Touch Materials

In late November, our students will have the safe touch instruction in their health class. The materials used will be available for parent preview during parent conferences this week.  The table will be located by the main office.

Market Day, Wednesday, November 12th

Our next Market Day will be held Wednesday, November 12th with product pick-up from 2:30 - 3:30 pm in the gym (please enter through Door 9).  As a reminder, at least 10% of your pre-tax order will be credited to your annual Family Fundraising Commitment. You are encouraged to place your order at http://www.marketday.com/, and pay by credit card. The deadline for internet orders is Saturday, November 8th at 11:00 pm.  All Saints Catholic Academy's school code is 27119.  Please note that Market Day and GFS purchases at local GFS stores are not a practical option for Family Fundraising purposes, because the credit to All Saints reduces from 10% or 15% to just 5%, and the reports we receive from Market Day do not identify the family to be credited. Volunteers are needed to help sort and stack the food. Please contact Tracy Coleman at tracytroy@aol.com if you are able to help.

Next SHPP Meeting

Please plan on attending our next SHPP (School Home Parish Partnership) meeting on Friday, November 14 at 8:15 am after drop off.  Please note the new day and time.  We look forward to seeing you there!
