We had a wonderful turnout at our Behavior training, session 1. There were 70 families in attendance. This is a great opportunity for you to work with your child at home and learn behavioral techniques that you can use. If you did not attend the first session, please do not come into sessions 2 and 3 as groups have been setup already. The behavior staff will be doing another series of three meetings in January. If you didn't join the first session, please join the next session in January.

package for helping.
School Etiquette
Parents, please remember your etiquette training when you go into a
classroom. We have seen several examples of parents
inappropriately discussing other children while standing in the
classrooms. It is also inappropriate to engage in a
conversation with your child's teacher with any concerns during
Family Friday. If you have any questions or concerns,
you need to e-mail your teacher or setup a conference.
Family Friday is not an observation of classroom time, it is a time
for parents to participate and enjoy your child in the classroom
setting. Please do not expect the classroom routine to
be normal. It is very difficult when there are a lot of people
in the class to try to have a typical day. We want Family
Friday to be a positive experience for all.
HoneyBaked Ham
Once again, we will be doing the HoneyBaked Ham fundraiser.
Next week we will be sending out the packets. You will need to
pre sell gift certificates. We will receive 20% from the total
sales. All gift certificates will be given back to you prior
to the Thanksgiving break for you to distribute. HoneyBaked
Ham will give the top seller who sells over $500.00 a gift
certificate for an 8 pound ham. Contact Beverly if you
have any questions.
PAC
The next PAC meeting will be held on Friday, October 2nd at 8:30AM at
the MSHS.
MSHS Coffee Fundraiser & Art Contest
Students will be creating art work for a special Princeton House
coffee brew. Javamo is the coffee, it comes in multiple
flavors as well as cocoa. The cost is $8.00 for cocoa and
$10.00 for coffee. The bags are 12 ounces. If you don't
have a MSHS student and want to purchase this, please contact Roger
at
rwatkins@princeton-house.org The money raised from this
coffee fundraiser will help cover the cost of Prom.
Toner/Ink Cartridges
Thank you to all of you who are sending these in. We have
received over 4 cases of copy paper due to your efforts. Keep
sending them in!
