When is share?

Sharing will begin September 4.  Sharing is done every Friday.  
The children are grouped into two groups so that they will share 
every other Friday.  Your child will either share every 1&3 
Friday or every 2&4 Friday.  Special shares for live animals 
should be arranged with me ahead of time.

May I bring birthday treats for my child's birthday?

Yes!  If they can be brought in the morning then we will try to 
pass them out at morning recess (10:20).  If for some reason 
that is not possible (Sometimes we have two birthdays on the 
same day!) then we will pass the treat out after lunch.  We have 
twenty three students this year and at times treats get dropped 
so PLEASE ALWAYS MAKE EXTRAS!

May I volunteer in the classroom?

Yes!
You need to be fingerprinted before working with the children.  
The forms are in the office and you may then make an appointment 
with the police department, or college police department.  Bring 
the form back to Connie to be sent down to the Sacramento 
Diocese for clearance.  The cost is $35.00 but once you are 
fingerprinted it is good for as long as your child is here at 
Notre Dame School!

The diocese also asks that you complete an on-line program as 
well prior to working with children.  The program is found at 
www.shieldthevulnerable.com and can be taken at your convenience 
at home.  The course takes about 60-90 minutes and does not all 
have to be done in one sitting.  Once you have finished you can 
print out your certificate and bring it in to show me.

We will also need help with technology on Wednesdays 
11:00-12:00. If this works for you please let Vicki know!
Vicki Sands has volunteered to provide an art program for 
Addie's class this year once a month so if you would kindly 
volunteer to be of help to her I know it would be appreciated! 
Just let her know.
Volunteers for language arts are on Monday 9:00-10:30 and 
Wednesdays 9:00-10:30 beginning in October.
Volunteers for math (Compucat- our individualized math program) 
are Monday and Friday 11:15-12:00. If you are interested in 
helping with any of these areas just jot a note to me and send 
it in.  I will compile all the responses and make a schedule 
that will begin in October.

When is Library?

Library is on Fridays from 12:50-1:45 OR 2:05-2:45 depending on 
which time is best for volunteers.  Let Rhonda know if you 
would like to volunteer! We really need library to be at one of 
these time slots!  THANKS
