PTA NEWS | |
Did you know that field trips, after school clubs, before testing snacks, positive parenting workshops, book fair, jogathon and tons of other great events are all coordinated by the PTA? We need you!! We know everyone can't make it to the meetings and some people may be confused about how to get involved. We are searching for one representative from each class to agree to communicate PTA info to other parents. Please contact Megan Walsh to get involved. This responsibility will fulfill the required three hours of volunteer time per family. Email mmwalsh@swcp.com or call 505-934-4875.

PARENT SUPPORT
The Nurtured Heart workshops put on by the PTA's Healthy Families Initiative were such a hit that we've decided to continue meeting once a month! The group will focus on different topics each month related to parenting issues. This month's meeting will be focused on Trust-based Relational Parenting-basically how to increase the trust and build positive relationships with your children. Join us this Monday at 5:15 in the CIS library. Childcare is provided. If you have ideas for future topics, please contact Megan Walsh at mmwalsh@swcp.com

Activities for parents

| CIS YEARBOOK INFO! | |
Dear CIS Parents:
Dear Parents and CIS students,
Unfortunately, due to a multitude of problems, the Flashback yearbook will not be delivered prior to the last day of school. It was our hope to meet the submission deadline in order to get the books back in enough time to allow students the opportunity to sign each other's books before the end on the school year. Regrettably, we missed that deadline and now it seems, the yearbooks will not arrive until after the 24th of May.
We plan to have a "Signing Party,' the first or second week after school (depending on when they are delivered) in which the students can pick up their yearbooks and sign each other's. And, of course, students can also receive their yearbooks at the beginning of the school year in August.
We sincerely apologize for the unfortunate delay. If any students would like to cancel their order and be reimbursed for their payment, they need only to contact Maestra Bratton by email (Brattons@corralesis) to make that request. Again, we regret the delay but continue to work to make the Flashback a great way to remember the 2012-2013 school year.
Sincerely,
Shellee Bratton, Yearbook Sponsor.
