HAPPY FRIDAY GEORGETOWN PARENTS!
NEWS FROM THE OFFICE…….. Things are running along pretty smoothly here at Georgetown. Just wanted to pass along that we have been seeing more of the stomach flu virus and the fever and sore throat going around. So please just remind your little ones to be on top of things with the hand washing and trying to get lots of rest!
KINDERGARTEN INFO……. Kindergarten Round-Up will be held on Tuesday, March 8 at 7pm. Please feel free to click the following links for the k registration and the health appraisal.
You may download this and fill them out and return them to Georgetown or you may stop in the office starting on Monday, January 24 to pick these up. We DO ask however, that when dropping off the filled out registrations that you bring in the child’s original birth certificate.
LIBRARY NEWS….. Please read the important message from Mrs. VandenBerg in regards to the new Overdue Library Book Email Notification system. Some of you may have received an email this week informing you of overdue Library books. These email notifications will be going out every Monday, beginning January 24, if your child has any books that are 21 days or more overdue. We do not charge overdue fines so please don’t be alarmed. The students are reminded weekly during their Library time of overdue books but may forget about these by the time they reach home. Hopefully this will help get some of those books back. Have a great day! Mrs. VandenBerg
