Week of June 20, 2016 Announcements



Tuition and Report Cards
A reminder that tuition must be PAID IN FULL before report card distribution on June 28th.


New Tuition Policy - September 2016
The Regional Board of Directors has decided that all payments of tuition/candy bars/after school program etc. in school must be done either by money order or check beginning September 2016.
Parents will be assisted by Alan in learning how to navigate Smart Tuition and parents should arrange for automatic deductions using their debit card/checking account/charge card during the summer of 2016.
Also, a tuition committee has been set up for the Regional Schools and their task will be to work with parents regarding tuition. This is so that Mr. Woods and the other principals of the regional schools may concentrate on academic matters rather than monetary matters.

Late fees, bounced checks etc. etc. will now be taken care of by the Regional Tuition Committee

Parents requesting an extension on their tuition will now be directed to call the Regional Tuition Committee.
Alan and Mr. Woods will not be able to have the fees waived on Smart Tuition - parents will directly deal with the Business Manager for the Regional Schools along with The Regional Tuition Committee.

Mr. Woods will explain all these changes at the September opening Parents meeting.


Summer Reading Assignment/ Supply List
All teachers will post on their blog a Summer Reading Assignment. Students in all grades will be required to read 2 books (one July, one August) and be able to answer questions that the teacher will post on the blog regarding the books assigned.
A test will be administered to students upon their return in September on the books read during the summer.

Mr. Woods will also post the books by grade on the blog next week.
As an example:
Students in the Living Environment Regents class will be reading:
The Serengeti Rules by Sean B. Carroll
and 
The Sixth Extinction by Elizabeth Kolbert

Also the Supply List for September will be posted on the teacher's blog by Thursday, June 23rd.  This will enable parents to shop around for early back to school discounts.
