Field Day and End of School Party

Our kindergartners will celebrate the last day of school with a field day and party in the morning before early dismissal at 12:15 p.m.
Grades 1 - 5
Field Day and End of School Parties
Thursday, May 20
Last year as we planned our calendar, our PTF parents expressed an interest in combining field day and the end of year parties for the convenience of our parents' schedules. So, the plans were set in motion to coordinate the last day of school with both activities in mind. Field day and party events will begin at 9:00 a.m. and end with early dismissal at 12:15 p.m
Volunteers Needed!
Harry Harwell is serving as the volunteer coordinator for the activities for grades 1 - 5. This event is not possible without the help of our super parent volunteers. If you would like to volunteer to help with set-up, supervision of an activity, snacks, or clean-up contact Harry at 634-4865. |

The new immunizations are:
- "Tdap", Tetanus-diptheria-pertussis booster: not required if a Td booster dose given less than 5 years before 7th grade entry if recorded on the DTaP/Td line (no later than October 1, 2010)
- Verification of immunity to varicella: 2 doses or history of disease (July 1, 2010)

| Uniform Guidelines for 2010-2011 | |
Uniform Guidelines for the 2010-2011 school year are in today's Informer envelope. The new catalog from Dennis Larose shows the items available in the store and online for you to purchase for your child. The guidelines pages give descriptions of new items as well as updated special notes about shoes, socks and general guidelines for boys' and girls' appearance. You will notice uniform shirts from previous vendors are no longer part of the uniform guidelines and will no longer be acceptable. Out-of-uniform and jeans day guidelines are also included in the handout. Please call the school if you have any questions.
For additional information contact the school office.
