| |
|
Friday, June 10th, 1:30-3:00pm
It's time to sign up for Puesta del Sol's Field Day!! Field Day will be held Friday, June 10th, from 1:30-3:00pm. Field Day is one of the most exciting afternoons of the school year. In order to make it a success, MANY parent volunteers are needed to run the 20+ fun events for our kids. Full day kindergarten parents are needed to chaperone groups of children from event to event. Half day kindergarteners are welcome to attend, but as Field Day is held after half day school hours, parent supervision of half day kindies is required. Volunteers Sign Up Here. If you have questions, please contact Carrie Norrah at [email protected]. Thank you!

PTA Seeking New El Sol Editor for 2016-2017
| |
|
The PTA is actively seeking a co-editor for our PTA Newsletter (El Sol). Our current editor has been doing this job for a couple years and now is graduating out of Puesta del Sol parenthood. However, she will be available this spring and summer to train the new co-editor. One of the editors will continue in their current role for 2016-2017. Editing duties include:
- Soliciting and compiling articles from PTA committees for El Sol publication
- Placing content in El Sol via the PTA's Constant Contact portal
- Coordinating school announcements/information with the communications team.
- Time commitment is approximately 2-4 hours per week, averaging 2 hours a week most of the year.
It should be noted that the articles submitted to the El Sol Editor will be complete; they will be fully written up and proof-read by at least two parties prior to the Editor being requested to place them in the newsletter. This is to take the burden of writing and editing off this Editor position. This is a great way to work from home and be active in the PTA's activities and promotions. Ideal candidates are comfortable with using computers, have basic word processing software, are timely and detail oriented, and are able to commit for at least a full school year. Duties would be assumed in June of the current school year to allow an overlap and training with the current editorial team. Interested parties please contact [email protected]

Help Us With Friday Raffle!
| |
|
If your kiddos love the raffle Sra. Lee has each Friday in the lunchroom, consider browsing this Amazon wish list and adding an item or two to your next Amazon order! We need a little bit of help to finish out the school year. During the raffle, Sra. Lee pulls 'Cupones de Respeto' from a tub where coupons are collected over the week. Students earn coupons from staff when they make good decisions, show respect in various ways, and demonstrate responsibility. These are the three tenants of positive behavior our school community promotes. Help us recognize our students in a fun way with a small token! The students go nuts over the raffle and often chant and cheer for their classmates when names are called. Thank you for your support!

Returning Books to the Library
| |
|
Emails have been sent to remind parents that books need to be returned or paid for by Monday, June 6th. As students return or pay for lost books, they will be given a raffle ticket that gives them a chance to win prizes (in the library) on Friday, June 17th. The first class to get all their books in will win a prize. This year we will be using Field Day as an extra incentive. Students who have not returned or paid for lost books by Field Day on Friday, June 10th will be spending the afternoon of that day in the library. If there is a financial hardship that makes it difficult to pay for lost books, please contact Stacey Brody or Principal Shearer. Please support our library by helping your students find and return their books.

Fifth Grade Student Artwork Now Due
| |
|
A letter has been emailed to fifth grade parents which details the Fifth Grade Legacy Project. As part of the Buddy Bench Program, the students will draw colorful bookmarks themed around the charter words for their classroom (happy, safe, respected, friendly, etc.). If your student has not turned in a bookmark, please turn it into Srta. Zelda by Wednesday, June 8th. This will ensure they have a bookmark to exchange during the ceremony on June 13th. More details about the project and a blank copy of the bookmark form can be found in the email sent to fifth grade parents. Questions can be directed to [email protected] or [email protected].
