We received an email from our blog server company offering sincere apologies for service issues. They have a technical team working to get this sorted out as soon as possible, in the meantime they are enormously grateful for your patience and understanding.
Please be patient as they work out these issues. (We are trying to be patient as well!)
A memo from the Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum, Mrs. Suzanne Curro:
It is time to enroll your child for kindergarten if he/she turns five years of age before December 1, 2009. Open enrollment opportunities begin January 26, 2009. Our Kindergarten Round-Up meetings will be held in each of our elementary buildings on Tuesday, March 17. There will be a choice of a morning meeting at 10:00 a.m. or an evening meeting at 7:00 p.m. The Kindergarten Round-Up meetings are designed for parents only in order to provide the necessary forms and information to prepare for the beginning of the new school year.
As many of you have heard or read in the newspaper, funding for pre-kindergarten programs will be cut by 50% next year. Many educators and parents have contacted their legislative representatives to request reconsideration of this bill. If this is not overturned, Hudsonville Public Schools, along with most other districts, will be forced to eliminate the pre-kindergarten program opportunity next school year. All students would then be placed in kindergarten classrooms.
We are going to continue to enroll new five year olds as we normally do, and test those who turn five between June 1, 2009 – December 1, 2009. Should the law change and pre-kindergarten funding is fully restored, we will adjust our plans accordingly.
Please bear with us as we await the final outcome of the legislative discussion. Mrs. Suzanne Curro

If the answer is YES, and you would like to donate some to our school, we would LOVE TO HAVE THEM! If you have child friendly board games that your children no longer play with, we would like to have these to build an indoor recess library of games.
This project is being organized by a 4th grade student, Matthew, and his Kids’ Hope Mentor. The goal is to accumulate games that will be stored in our MPR for indoor recess play. Games to consider donating:
Please make sure all the pieces are included!
Donated games can be brought placed on the stage steps of the MPR.
Thank you so much for your help with this student initiated project. Mrs. Reagan
Shelly Telfor, one of our Georgetown parents, has offered to build a collection of books, videos and DVD’s helpful to parents. To build the library, we are asking for your donation of gently used materials on an assortment of topics. Once received, the materials will be catalogued and shelved in our school media center. These topics include, but are not limited to:
Place your donated materials in the collection box in the front entry, outside the school office. A list of the titles available will be published on the school blog as they come in. A checkout system, based on the honor system, will be developed. No overdue fines here! Together we can encourage each other in finding good information, without all the expense. If you have questions, contact Shelly Telfor at 662-2002 or smtelfor@yahoo.com. Thank you!
If you do love art AND YOU would be willing to volunteer some time, then we have a project for YOU!
Mrs. Brouwer, our wonderfully talented art teacher, has loads of student art work that needs to be hung throughout the school! If you would be willing to help her with this project, please send her an email. Mrs. Brouwer will appreciate any help you can provide.
If you have not visited the Art Blog yet, this needs to be your next surfing stop!
viruses! If your family was healthy over the holidays, CONGRATULATIONS! If not, I am so very sorry. I do know how horrible it can be to have sick children around the holiday season.
Please be aware that we have many different types of viruses afflicting children at school. These range from stomach viruses (one lasting up to three weeks…ugh), to impetigo, step throat, respiratory illnesses, and nasty cases of true blue flu.
Each time we have a sick child in the office area and health room, Mrs. Ripley and Mrs. Nurenberg sanitize the phones, chairs, and counter area. We do this to ensure that these viruses do not spread from student to student and to the staff.
If your child does come down with an illness, please keep him/her home for 24 hours following the end of a fever or last signs of viral symptoms. This will help us to eliminate the spread of some of these viruses.
Thank you for your help! Mrs. Reagan
