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 have received many questions regarding enrollment of PK and K children
for the 2011-12 school year.
How old does my child need to be to enroll in PK or K?
How do I find out about the difference between PK and K?
If my child is in PK with Mrs. Boes room this year, do I need to attend Round Up?
If I have a child that will be NEW to Georgetown and you would like to find out more about PK and K, should I attend the meeting on March 8?
What if I cannot attend the meeting?
Should my child be screened to determine if a PK or K placement is best?
The week ahead features Play to Learn, our OAISD group for preschool children and their parents.
In addition, our Marco’s Pizza Nights are being offered over two nights–and feature pizza boxes decorated by your children! If you have a child in grades K-2, order on January 18. If you have a child in grades 3-5, order on January 19. For those of you who have children in both grades, it is your choice when to order!
Do you have a pre-kindergartener or kindergartener for the next school year? If so, you will want to get March 8 on your calendar! We will be holding our PK/K meeting to inform parents of the options for the 2011-12 school year. This blog post includes links to the PK/K registration and curriculum program.
