Weekly Blog 12/11


Dear Wines Families,
It’s hard to believe we are approaching winter break and the end of 2019. Time has certainly flown by this year. Here is the important Wines news of the week.

Visitor Entry System
By now, many of you have utilized the new visitor management system. While this new system has caused some changes for visitors and for our office staff, so far we are very pleased with how things are going. The system requires visitors to supply a driver’s license. The first part is self-service. You place your ID in the slot. Do not push down. When Robin initiates the system, it will pull your ID down to be scanned. Upon completion of your visit, simply come back to the office and leave your badge and we will sign you out of the system.

As we all know, Robin is usually alone in the office and her responsibilities are seemingly endless. We ask that everyone be patient as checking in visitors is usually not the most pressing task Robin has at the moment.

Auction Projects: We Need You!
Every year each classroom creates a special art project for the Wines live auction (being held at Stonebridge Golf Course on Saturday March 21, 2020). We are in need of volunteers to make these wonderful pieces with the kids. We are currently in need of volunteers for projects from the following classrooms: Toohey, Wittmann, Eckel, Milanowski, Puente, Mosher, and Duggins. Please contact Michelle Chien at mknezek@hotmail.com as soon as possible if you're interested in helping.

Lost and Found
Our Lost and Found will be cleaned out during the winter break and remaining items will be donated to charity. If your child is missing items, please remind them to check the Lost and Found.

Holiday Gifts
As we approach the holidays, I want to remind families that AAPS employees cannot accept gifts beyond those of token value. Our teachers and staff do very much appreciate these token gifts, however. If you are looking to show your appreciation and support in a larger way, a great way is to make a direct donation to our PTO. A card to a staff member indicating you have done this is in their honor is an idea that parents have done in the past. Direct donations can be made at https://wines-elementary-school-pto.square.site/.

That’s all for this week!

David
