HAPPY FRIDAY GEORGETOWN PARENTS!!!
NEWS FROM THE OFFICE……..Can you believe it??! We have just completed our second week of school already! We here in the office feel like we are running like a fine oiled machine. Maybe that is what happens after 6 years? I must say also that our Kindergartners are doing a fabulous job! They seem to be handling all day every day kindergarten very well. Kudos to Kindergartners! : )
PICTURE DAY…….. Is MONDAY!!! September 17. Please remember to send in your order form with your student. Do not worry if your student is going to be a late arrival on Monday, they can go and have their picture taken when they get here if there class has already gone.
NOTES TO TEACHERS, ETC………. This is just a friendly suggestion to help out our wonderful teachers. When sending in notes to the teachers it is EXTREMELY helpful if you DATE the note. Sometimes inadvertently the teacher will not remove the note from folders or leave it posted up and if there is not date on it, they can get confused as to which day the note is for. Thank you.
LUNCH INFO…….. I am attaching the SEPTEMBER hot lunch menu and a deposit slip for you. Remember too that you are able to make deposits to your student’s lunch account online now. You will need their student ID # which you can get from our office. The website for online lunch access is www.sendmoneytoschool.com Sept. 2012 Elementary Menu Deposit Slip (1)
