Fourth Grade: Our class will be presenting the Nativity as our part of the school's Christmas Show. It is not too early to look around the house to see what would make a suitable "Biblical" era costume for your child. If one of your older children or friends has a Graduation or Confirmation gown or a plain bathrobe, that makes a great basic costume. Scarves, shawls, capes, scarves etc make great finishing touches. The Show is scheduled for Decemeber 21 and students are expected to participate in both the sfternoon and evening performances.

Welcome to a new school year! By working together, we can have a happy and fulfilling year. I am looking forward to seeing all of you tomorrow, our first day. Students should arrive at school in uniform between 8:00 AM and 8:10 AM. Morning Prayer begins at 8:10 AM. Students arriving after 8:10 AM are late. Dismissal this week will be at 11:30 AM from the back of the school at the auditorium door nearest the Convent. Students do not need to bring all the supplies listed on the Supply List tomorrow. Please do bring a pen and a sharpened pencil, a folder, two notebooks and crayons. Students may bring the Jumbo sized book sox to school and cover the texts in school if you wish. Books will be sent home gradually this week to be covered, so all students need a schoolbag in which to carry them.

IMPORTANT MEMORANDUM RE: IEP SERVICES


April 29, 2010


Dear Parents/Guardians,

The Department of Education began sending out letters to parents regarding consent and continuation of special services. These letters have nothing to do with placement issues; they simply mean that a parent wants to continue receiving speech and language or O.T. or resource room from the Department of Education.

Please make sure that as soon as you receive this letter, you send them back to the Department of Education no later than June 1, 2010. Failure to do so will result in the termination of services for the 2010-2011 academic school year.



Sincerely,
Mrs. Eilleen Bubbico
Principal



I will praise the Lord, who counsels me; even at night my Heart instructs me. I have set the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

Psalm 16:7-8














MEMORÁNDUM IMPORTANTE REFERENTA A SERVICIOS de IEP


El 29 de abril de 2010


Queridos Padres/Guardas,

El Departamento de Educación comenzó a enviar cartas a padres en cuanto a consentimiento y continuación de servicios especiales. Estas cartas no tienen nada que ver con cuestiones de colocación; ellos simplemente significan que usted como padre quiere seguir recibiendo el discurso de la terapias del hablar, ocupación fisico o otros recursos que ofrecen el Departamento de Educación.

Por favor asegúrese que tan pronto como usted recibe esta carta, usted los devuelve al Departamento de Educación no más tarde que el 1 de junio de 2010. Al no devolver esta carta causará la terminación de servicios durante el 2010-2011 año escolar.



Sinceramente,
Sra Eilleen Bubbico
Principal
