PRINCIPAL’S LETTER                                               July 14, 2010

E-Mail

In the interest of better communication and efficient use of our resources, we are asking that parents send in current e-mail addresses. Instead of searching through back packs, you will be able to receive class newsletters and school information through your e-mail account. When school starts, please turn your information into the classroom teacher or to the main office as soon as possible. Additionally, you can log on to our website for updated calendars and a variety of useful information. http://www.humboldtunified.com/cses/

Early Pick Ups

To ensure the safety of all students and to preserve the classroom environment, students who need to be checked out early, should be picked up by 2:45PM. A request for changes for student’s transportation or pick-up must be in writing with the date and signature of a parent/guardian. If your student is riding home with another student, the other student’s parent/guardian must also send a signed and dated note.

Lost and Found

Please remember to check for lost and found items each quarter because we get so many unclaimed items.  The lunch boxes, coats, sweaters, and other items of clothing will be located along the back wall of the cafeteria. You are welcome to come in and look through our collection for your child’s missing items.  If you come in during school hours, please check in at the main office.

Cafeteria

The cafeteria must follow federal guidelines regarding student meals. I hope the steps listed below will help you understand the process.

Students may only charge up to $3.50. If a student has charges up to $3.50, they will receive bread, peanut butter or cheese and a white milk at lunch. They will not receive a breakfast.

Notices will be sent home when a student has a negative balance and parents will be called after the second day of a $3.50 negative balance.

Free and reduced applications will be available in the main office closer to the start of school.  The forms will be available online on August 2, 2010.  

State Testing

Our AIMS/Standford 10 testing scores will be available by the start of school.  These tests  become part of your child’s permanent cumulative record.
