Middle School High School News
  High School Focus Group:  Tuesday September 30th at 6:00PM at the Middle/High campus.  Childcare will be provided ONLY if you call in and register for childcare.  Please bring your "Planning Ahead" books that were provided at the first parent meeting for the Middle School High School students.  This meeting will be focusing on preparing our children for transition to adulthood.  We will also be discussing graduation options and course requirements. 
  Our kitchen program is going well.  If you need help with the kitchen fees, please call Carol and we will arrange assistance.

Are you a Graphic Designer?
  We are working on remodeling our website and we are looking for someone who can assist us with the graphic design of the website.  This would be a great way to get your volunteer hours.  If you would like to assist us or know someone that can, please contact Carol at ctucker@princeton-house.org

Golf Tournament
  Our 6th Annual Golf Tournament will be held on Monday, November 10th at Dubsdread Country Club.  Next week you will receive two invitations.  Please mail them out to anyone you think might be interested in golfing with us.

Car Seat Vests
  We have noticed that some of our children have a difficult time staying in their car seat and this is very dangerous.  Not only in case of an accident but also for the safety of the other passengers of the car.  We highly recommend that parents secure their children with a vehicle vest.  Information on these products can be found at www.ezonpro.com or by calling 800-323-6598.

Family Friday
  Family Friday starts tomorrow for McCullough, Roberts, French and Wilkins classes.  All parents need to have completed the etiquette training.  If you came to the first parent meeting, we did an etiquette training then. We also offered an etiquette training this past week. 

Late Arrivals
  You need to have your child ready for school prior to the start of class.  Many students are coming in after classes have started which makes it VERY difficult for the class to start and stop again.  If your child's class starts at 8:00AM, they should be  in their seats ready to learn at 8:00.  If your child's class starts at 8:30AM, they should be in their seats ready to learn at 8:30.  It is a difficult transition for a child to come in late.

Absences
  Please remember to call the office if your child is going to be absent or send a note the next day.  Otherwise your child will be considered unexcused and you are only allowed 10 unexcused days per semester.
