RE-REGISTRATION

All re-registration forms should be returned to the Office by tomorrow, February 5, in order to avoid a $50.00 late charge.   Please remember to inform the Office if your child will not be returning for the 2010 – 2011 School Year.



PreK - 3 and PreK - 4 CONFERENCES

Mrs. Quagliato and Mrs. Tiplady will be holding conferences on Thursday, February 25.  This will give the parents and guardians a chance to talk with their child’s teacher concerning the student’s progress to date.  The Preschool classes will be cancelled on this day so that the conferences will be uninterrupted.  A letter will follow with all of the details and a sign up form.


FRIDAYS IN LENT
During the Lenten season the school will not be serving meat on Ash Wednesday and Fridays.   ALL students who bring their lunch to school are asked to bring lunches that do not contain meat.   If a lunch contains meat, the student will be asked to select an item from the school menu and you will be charged.  Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter.
