Week of January 11, 2016


If parents need assistance with registering for PreK for All for September 2016 they should see Alan or Brianna in the school office.


Changes to the Weekly Blog - Lesson Plans now posted.

Beginning this week the teachers will have a link on their weekly blog wherein parents may view the weekly lesson plans of what their child is learning on a day to day basis. This will enable parents to see the specific standard being covered by the teacher from Engage New York Modules, the vocabulary that will be covered for the week, the classroom assignments etc.
The new plan book for lesson planning that the teachers have been working with since September has proven a useful tool and therefore parents access is the next step.
Should you have questions about the lesson plan attachment please see either Mr. Woods, Alba or Alan in the office


Registration/Scholarships
On Friday Mr. Woods received information that we are to begin registration for new students for Kindergarten and re- registration of present students on February 1, 2016. Mr. Woods was also informed that scholarships will be available for students who are entering Kindergarten and new students coming from public schools in grades 1-6.
What do parents need to do --- the prerequisite for all scholarships is a copy of the 1040 tax form for 2015. I suggest therefore that parents who are interested in applying for a scholarship have their taxes filed as soon as possible.
Parents must understand that the scholarship top award is $2,000.00 based on the family income. The balance of tuition must then be paid by the parents.
Also by next week the Board of Directors will be deciding the tuition rates for the 2016-2017 school year.
As more information becomes available Mr. Woods will post it here on the blog. Parents are reminded to read the blog weekly.
Should you have any questions please see Mr. Woods or Alba about registration.
Mr. Woods will be having a parent meeting for parents of students in Mrs. Fundora's class on Monday January 25th at 8:15 AM in the school library. This meeting will be for parents regarding registration for the 2016-2017 school year-- a flyer will be sent home.
