7) REMINDER: PARENT EVENING- MAY 21
We will be having our annual Parent Evening on May 21 at 6:30pm. This year we will be We’re excited to screen the award-winning documentary “Screenagers: Elementary School Edition” this year. Two years ago, we screened the original documentary, and since then, they’ve released a specific version tailored for elementary schools. Please make every effort to attend and watch this important documentary that delves into the challenges families face in today’s digital age. We invested a significant amount of money in obtaining the licensing for this screening because we believe it’s crucial for parents to be informed about their children’s digital habits. We’re witnessing an alarming rise in anxiety, depression, and other issues stemming from excessive social media use. Although geared towards Gr. 4-7 parents all parents are welcome! Childcare will be available this evening.

8) CAMBRIDGE UNIFORMS:
Cambridge Uniforms is offering free shipping May 1- June 15 for all orders over $250 (before tax)

9) PARENT PARTICIPATION:
Families, four weeks left to complete parent participation hours before the deadline!  The requirement of 34 regular hours and 6 maintenance hours for a total of 40 hours are due by May 31, 2025. There are plenty of volunteer opportunities during the school week and on weekends to accommodate all schedules. 

Please consider volunteering even if you have completed your hours. Specifically, Track and field requires more volunteers to help at practices and track meets in order for our students to have a successful season. 

If you are unable to attend a volunteer shift, kindly remove yourself from the task with as much notice as possible.  If there is more than 24 hours notice, the task can be reposted and hopefully a replacement can be found .  If there is less than 24 hours notice, email the parent participation coordinator.  Failure to report an absence will result in a no show fee of $25 per missed shift.  Three no shows, and the family will be removed from the program and will have to pay out the remaining hours at the cost of $30 per missed regular hour and $60 per missed maintenance hour. 

Ad hoc requests are tasks that you did not sign up for on the website or a task that took longer than expected.  Please submit these within one month of completion for approval. Anything submitted beyond that date, and approval is at the discretion of the coordinator.
