Parent Newsletter
WELCOME BACK!
We are off to a great start. Classes are coming together well.
The new students seem to be adjusting well. Parents
seem to be adjusting well also. Remember to keep the lines of
communication open. Please respond to your comm log, check
your homework and read your teachers log.
PAC Breakfast
Tomorrow there will be a PAC meeting and breakfast 8:30-8:45AM at the
MSHS. All parents are welcome and encouraged to attend.
PAC Activity Fee
Please remember to send in your $20.00 activity fee as soon as
possible. The PAC committee are working on organizing Fall
Festival and other events and they need to know their budget.
No School
There is no school on Monday, September 7th.
Need Uniforms?
We have LOTS of uniforms in our uniform exchange. If you need
any shirts, shorts, etc. please fill out a request and send it to
your teacher. We will get the request to Ms. Oliveira's
classroom and they will check to see if we have your size.
Apparently we have an abundance of clothing in smaller sizes so
hopefully we can help you. Please realize that it will take a
week to ten days to process your request.
Student of the Month
Congratulations to our student of the month, Jocelyn Daniel.
Jocelyn is a competitive and dedicated swimmer. She
participates in Special Olympics where she won gold medals this
summer. She is an outstanding student in Ms. Mulvaney's class.
Bad Weather
We follow Orange County Public Schools (OCPS) as far as bad weather.
If there is ever a hurricane, please follow OCPS school closings.
Artist Needed
We are looking for a parent who is artistic and can paint a mural on
a classroom wall. This would certainly fulfill your volunteer
hours. If you are interested, please contact Beverly.
Behavior Trainings
Our first behavior training is Tuesday, September 15th at 6:00PM at
the MSHS. We will be offering 3 different behavior trainings.
It is important to attend all of the behavior trainings. The
first training will be about basics of behavior and how we want to
transfer the behavior strategies from school to home. The
trainings will have momentum from the previous training and will
have some consecutive components. We will be offering
childcare for these trainings. Please call the office
407-523-7121 to schedule childcare. It is important to sign up
for childcare so we have the appropriate staff members here.
Childcare is $10.00 per child.
Grants
We have received two grants due to our parents getting involved and
helping put them together. Mr. Michael Morrison got us a
$15,000 grant through Brambles. Also Mr. Bill Lee got us a
$2500 grant through Wachovia Foundation. Thank you for your
support.
Life Touch Portraits
Our school pictures will be taken October 7th and October 8th.
On October 7th, all students who attend the elementary campus may
wear "picture" clothes. October 8th is the picture day for all
students at the MSHS. Uniforms are not necessary on picture
day. We will be sending out more information as we get closer.
