Princeton House Charter School

Parent Newsletter
Music Premier
We would like to invite you to join us for the
music viewing of a song that was specifically written in support of
parents of special needs children. One of our parents and the
song writer/performer, Karen Taylor-Good will be presenting a
preview of "The Life That's Chosen Me". This private screening
will be available to interested parents, friends and family
members on Tuesday December 9th at 7:00PM at the Middle
School/High School campus. Childcare will NOT be available for
this event. An album is being made with a variety of Grammy
nominated and independent artists in support of children and
families with special needs. We encourage you to participate
as proceeds from the sale of the upcoming album will directly
benefit Princeton House. This is a great opportunity to
preview this song and join in on this world wide venture. We
are working out details for the possibility of artists to perform
songs from this album, live at our Gala in May. We are
very excited about this upcoming album and hope you will share our
enthusiasm.
| Holiday Needs We would like to thank those of you helped by donating food items for the Thanksgiving Holiday. We were able to provide bags of food for 10 families. We have many families at our school who are in great need, especially for the holidays. If you are able to help by donating $5.00 to $10.00 please send in your donation by Friday, December 12th. You will feel great joy knowing you have helped another Princeton House family. Please send your donations in an envelope and put Beverly's name on the outside.

Winter Break
The last day of school is Friday, December
19th. School resumes on Monday, January 5th. We wish
everyone a pleasant and safe holiday vacation. We look forward
to seeing you return after the break.
No Aftercare
There will be NO AFTERCARE on Friday, December
19th. Please make arrangements to make sure your child is
picked up on time! We have many staff who have flights to
catch or are leaving town and cannot leave PHCS until every child
has been picked up.
School Time Change
Beginning January 5, 2009, PHCS is
changing the dismissal time for students. Our staff needs more time
in the afternoon for planning and Team meetings. Please plan
accordingly.
The new schedule is as follows:
PK – 1:45 pm
Elementary – 2:00 pm
Buses – 2:15 pm
Middle/High – 2:30 pm
Morning arrival times will stay the same.
IEP Meeting Cancellations
We have recently had a number of IEP meeting
cancellations occur at the last minute. Although we
understand a need to cancel a meeting in case of an emergency
situation, however, we must stress the importance of holding these
meetings and maintaining IDEA compliance. Please be aware that
parents may participate in IEP meetings via telephone or give
consent to hold the meeting without being in attendance.
Carol's Recovery
Carol Tucker recently underwent her second knee
replacement. She is doing excellent and plans to return to
work immediately.
