Ellen Sinopoli on Wednesday, January 11th. Ms.

about dance and conducted movement activities
related to literacy through the use of movement and
multi-cultural stories.

grade on Wednesday, January 11th. She is a vice
headmaster from the elementary school attached to
Southwest University in Chongquing (the equivilent to
our principal). She was accompanied by a translator, Ms.

More reminders:
The cost of student lunches has increased for
the first time in three years. A complete elementary
student lunch including milk will now be $2.25.
An 8 oz. carton of milk purchased separately is
still 50¢. In addition to the
Daily Special, our cafeteria is now offering at
least 4 alternate meals a day. Go to
Elementary Lunch Menu for all the details.
Anyone still needing to register a child for
school needs to start that process at
the Superintendent's office. See

Parking Lot
Safety
Please make parking lot safety your priority as you drop
off or pick up your student. Remember, if a school bus
has its flashing red lights on, it can not be passed,
even in a parking lot. Also, never pass a bus on the
right.
We request that you DO NOT PULL INTO THE BUS LINE IN
FRONT OF THE SCHOOL as it slows down the unloading of
students.
Please help us keep your children safe by escorting them
to the school doors. Never leave your car unattended and
running, or parked in the traffic lane.
Call
in for Safety
Parents should
always notify the school by 9:00 AM whenever
their child will be absent due to illness or
other reason. Our student safety procedures
depend on our knowing where students are! If there is no call
or email from a parent, the office
staff must interrupt the classroom to verify the
student's absence and then call the parent,
either at home, at work, or both. (A
written excuse with parent signature is still
required when the child returns to school).
By 9:00
AM PLEASE
Call the nurse's answering machine at 399-9141
ext. 4507. This machine is on 24 hours a day.
Parents: When you
call or email us to say your child will be
absent due to illness, please briefly
share your
child's symptoms. Please indicate if your child
has:
● Fever
● Nausea / vomiting
● Sore throat
● Muscle aches
● Chills / shivering
● Runny / stuffy nose
● Cough
● Been diagnosed with flu by
a doctor
Reminders from the Nurse:
Students in kindergarten, second and fourth
grades plus any student new to the district must
submit a completed school physical form.

Parents: please send completed physical forms and
immunization records to the nurse as soon as
possible.
Also, remember that medications given
during the school day need to come in the
