SPRING PICTURES:
Spring pictures will be taken on Thursday of the week we return from
Easter break. Look for a flyer coming
home today with your child--you can indicate on it which pose you prefer. Students may be out of uniform on Picture
Day—please refer to page 25 of the Parent/Student
Handbook for guidelines concerning appropriate dress. All students in attendance on Thursday,
April 19 will be photographed and will have a portrait package printed; you can
decide when you receive your child’s pictures whether or not you want to buy
them and can fill out the order form that will come home then. You are not obligated to buy—if you decide
you don’t want them, you just return the portrait package to the school
office. We will need two parents
here on Picture Day to help with the flow of classes. The photographer starts at
WEEKLY FOLDERS:
Parents, please check over the Easter break to see if your child is
missing his blue take-home folder (the one he should be bringing papers home in
each Friday). If his papers came home
this week loose and not in his blue folder, could you please check at home or
in his bookbag to see if he has it? Thank you.
SPIRIT DAY T-SHIRTS: Spirit Day t-shirt order forms are coming
home today with all students in grades 1 through 7. Each homeroom will have its own color
t-shirt. The shirts cost $5 and can be
worn on Spirit Tuesdays through the rest of this school year. Please return all order forms and payment by
Tuesday, April 17 (the first Tuesday after Easter break) in an envelope marked
