Re-Registration 2015-2016
Re-Registration forms are available in the tuition office for parents to re-register for next year. The tuition rate has not been determined as of yet by the Catholic School Region of Manhattan CFO (Chief Financial Officer) as soon as the new rates are known Mr. Woods will publish on this blog.
Parents who are not returning are asked to inform Mrs. Resto or Alba.
Parents of students in PreK-2 (Ms. Rodriguez's class) and Kindergarten are urged to re-register early. A number of parents have called for Kindergarten next year and it is important to guarantee your seat by re-registering.
Re-Registration is due by February 28th.
PreK and Article 43
A number of changes were implemented in PreK this last week to continue to address our timeline of meeting the NYC Department of Health regulations regarding the school license for PreK and Kindergarten.
1. The 15 minute limit for snack- a snack is a snack--- not rice, beans and bistec. It should be limited to a small sandwich, a piece of fruit and a juice which is not necessary as the children have access to milk for their snack. What does this address - it address high cholesterol rates in children as young as 5 years old. It address obesity in children. The teachers will address this more on their blog page.
2. The classroom schedules were changed. Many parents came to Mr. Woods on report card night and expressed their happiness with the Center Time incorporated into the curriculum and the children were talking about their activities at home.

Report Cards- Summer School/Retention
Students who are not doing well academically are reminded that there is PLENTY of time to improve their scores before the final decisions are made by Mr. Woods in June. Less computer, Less television, Less gaming--more reading, more studying, more responsibility in completing all homework, projects and paying attention to every detail during class.
Parents should check the Cornerstone Student Information System weekly if their child is experiencing academic difficulties.
