One Stop Shopping Forms -Carline Duty - and January 17th date reminder!

Dear Family,

My Blog....  theprincipaldiary.blogspot.com is going live this next week through the Pony!  You can access it through the Edna Maguire website or sign up to receive the updates as I post them!  I hope to add more pictures and fun items as we go along!

One Stop Shopping Form
This form was in the First Day Packet and this includes many important items that pertain to school needs and items that you may want to order for your child. (If you have lost or misplaced this form you can click on the link here or find it under Forms on our Edna Maguire Website.)

Steeplechase Pledge Packets
Our Steeplechase Lapathon is quickly approaching on Oct.11!  It is our primary source or revenue for our school and students for the year.  Specific details on how the money is used can be found on the back of the One Stop Form.  The school's goal is a $300.00 donation per student, however any amount is greatly appreciated!

Carline Volunteers and Schedule
We have worked diligently with the City of Mill Valley police department, the school district and our traffic patrol to assist with the heavy flow of traffic and lack of parking.  I expect the parking on the streets and in front of Ring Mountain to subside once the construction workers start to leave once we are back on January 6th.
As part of our effort we have Carline Volunteers scheduled by class all year!  Carline Schedule - by class is used to schedule our volunteers.  You will receive notice when your child's classroom is scheduled and you can sign up through Sign-Up Genius.  However, if you happen to notice that the car line is short volunteers either in the morning or at pick-up, please stop and lend a hand if possible. It is greatly appreciated.

Mill Valley School District Student and Teacher Calendar 2013-2014
On the original Mill Valley School District Student and Teacher Calendar, Friday, January 17th was designated as a Teacher, Professional Development Day with no student attendance.  I am bringing this to your attention because Monday, January 20 is a school holiday- Martin Luther King Day.  The teacher staff development day has been changed to Friday, March 21st!

Safety First!
At recess and lunch all adults are wearing our new "fashion forward" high visibility vests!  This allows students to find an adult that can easily be seen! Check it out!
