Dear Wines Families,
I mentioned to a parent yesterday who wanted an item
included in today’s message that I didn’t have much to share this week. Since
that time, a number of items have come up that I’d like to share! So here goes:
International Night is tomorrow Thursday, January 29 from
6:30 until 8:00 pm
The night is shaping up to be a great celebration of the
heritage and culture of the Wines community. We will have a gymnasium
full of student-created projects, crafts, delicious food, cultural performances
and an international fashion show featuring our Wines students. This
event is a fascinating showcase of the international roots of the families that
make up Wines, and you can participate in the following ways:
* We still need volunteers to run the evening! If you
have 45 minutes or an hour to give, please visit http://vols.pt/TeToGh and sign up where
you can.
* Come experience the event! You do not need to be a
registered participant to enjoy the evening. Bring your family and learn
about countries and cultures from around the globe.
* For an added learning experience, fill out the “Where is my family from?” form attached to today's email with your kids and bring it to the
event. While there, find your family’s roots on the world map and look to
see if your family’s country of origin is represented at one of the student
presentation tables.
Parent Involvement
Day: February 9th
In your child’s take home folder today, you will see a
yellow invitation to join us for our annual Parent Involvement Day on Monday,
February 9th. This has historically been a very well attended day in
our community and we hope you can join us. For new parents, there is a lot of
information contained in the invitation. Later this week, I will send out a
digital RSVP for parents. You do not necessarily need to RSVP to join us.
However, it does give us a sense of how many people we will expect.
Additionally, we will be serving lunch to parents so if you are going to join
us for lunch, we do ask that you RSVP so we can be sure to have enough food.
Look for the RSVP later this week.
Notes from the Office
Parents, please call the main office if your child is going
to be late or absent to school. Many parents do contact teachers—which is nice—but
that message does not always reach the main office.
Students must stop for a pass and check in the front office when
they come in after the bell. Teachers take attendance right away in the morning
and then begin their instructional day. The pass is an important communication
tool between the office and the teacher that we know children have arrived and
tells the teacher that the office staff knows the student is present. And as
always, please do all you can to have your child arrive to school on time.
David
