Jump Start Day Packets Now Available
|
The Jump Start Day (JSD) packets are now available for pick-up in front of the school office from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. Picking up your packet before the 21st will allow you time to fill out the needed forms prior to JSD on Monday, August 24th.
In the packet are flyers from various school groups and forms to join the PTA, contribute to the PTA Student Donation Program, sign up to volunteer for various events or duties and sign up to be included in the school directory and join the email club. Also included are the Emergency and Disaster cards that need to be completed before receiving your students classroom assignment.
One reason for Strandwood's excellence is the volunteering efforts put in by you, the parents. If you have any questions about various volunteer duties on the "Yes I Can" form please ask us at JSD or email strandwood_emailclub@hotmail.com with your questions.
Since we are going to paperless newsletters this year don't forget to sign up for the Roadrunner and Email Blast on bottom of the Student Directory form. If you don't want to use your regular email for the email club you might consider opening a free email account at gmail, hotmail or another free service and using that new email address for the email club list.
Of course the JSD Student Donation program is a major fundraiser. Please contribute what you can to the PTA. Stop by the PTA table and find out just how much the PTA does for Strandwood.
Measure "S" is still collecting funds to support instructional assistants for the increased class sizes. Funds for 2-1/2 assistants have been raised and we are trying to get that 3rd one. If you have been wanting to contribute to this special fund you can do it at the PTA table.
New This Year - For those of you that can't make it to school prior to JSD, or just like using your computer, the entire JSD packet is available on our website. With the exception of the emergency and disaster cards, all forms can be filled out on line and printed at home. Bring these forms with you when you check in. You will still need to pick up your emergency and disaster cards and complete them before receiving your classroom assignments. Next year we hope to offer all forms on line.

Classroom Volunteers

If you are going to volunteer in the classroom this year you need to have a TB test and be fingerprinted by the district prior to working in the classroom or driving on a field trip. Call the district now and make an appointment for your fingerprinting. Complete your TB test prior to your fingerprinting appointment and bring the TB test results with you.
