Wines 2012-2013!!


Dear Wines Families,

Believe it or not, the new school year is right around the corner. Robin and I are back and the office is open. It's a bit too quiet around here, but soon we will have more than 400 kids here to keep us busy! In the coming days and weeks you will receive much more information, so today I just want to send out some important dates for your calendars.

Wednesday, August 29th 3:00-4:00PM: Welcome Back Popsicle Party. At this party students and parents will receive their welcome back letter and information including the name of their teacher. Our teachers will be on the playground ready to meet their students and kids will have a chance to spend some time with their classmates and friends. If you are unable to attend the party, we will mail home your packet.

Tuesday, Sept. 4th: First Day of School (Full Day). As always, our PTO will host a welcome back coffee at 9:00 after the kids are in their classrooms.

Thursday, Sept. 6th 6:30 PM. Welcome Back Family Picnic. This annual event is an informal opportunity for families to come to school and reconnect or connect for the first time. Bring your family and a dish to pass. An informational flyer will be in the welcome back packet.

Tuesday, September 11th 6:30-8:00 PM: Curriculum Night. From 6:30-7:00 teachers will be presenting in their classrooms about the upcoming school year. From 7:00-7:30 I will make a brief presentation for all parents. From 7:30-8:00 teachers will again present in their classrooms so families with multiple children can see the other teacher (for those of you with 3 or more kids at Wines, you are already used to being in three places at once so hopefully you can figure it out!! ).

Tuesday, September 18th: First PTO meeting. From 6:00-7:00, our PTO will hold a meeting designed for new families so you can learn about who our PTO leaders are and what our PTO does (and they do a lot!!). From 7:00-8:00 we will hold our general meeting for everyone. As always, childcare will be available.

I look forward to seeing everyone soon!

David
