A permission slip was sent home today attached to the newsletter.  Please return it by Wednesday, May 14.

 

TUITION - All tuition must be paid by Thursday, May 15.  School policy states that fourth quarter report cards will be withheld, records will not be transferred, and no eighth grade student may take part in the end of the year activities if tuition is not paid in full.  Statements were sent home last Thursday for anyone with a balance.  If you have question regarding your account, please contact Mrs. Sheridan in the school office at 342-2551 or email her at gmsheridan@sthenryel.com.

 

2008-09 IMMUNIZATION CERTIFICATES AND MEDICAL HISTORY - Students in the fifth grade as well as some others whose certificates expire before school starts in the fall received letters today.  Please check with your child to see if they received a letter.

 

FINE ARTS NIGHT/PTO MEETING - Wednesday May 21, 2008, 7:00 PM in the school cafeteria.  There will be art on display as well as projects completed within the classroom on display. The students will perform music at various times during the evening. All grades will be included. Plan to join us and enjoy the evening

 

2008/09 BINGO SIGN UP SHEET - This is the time to sign up for the weeks that you will volunteer to work at the bingo held on Thursday evenings.  Volunteers are to report between 5:30 - 6:00 PM.  We know that you might come directly from work; therefore food is provided for you.  Each family is asked to work three bingos, one of which is to be in the summer.  Each family has one year from July to August to fulfill their obligation.  If both parents work together on the same night it will be counted as two bingos.  Please fill out the form below and return it to school with your child.  If you have any questions, call Sue Dressman at 342-2543, Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM - Noon.   Bingos are now SMOKE FREE so the “old excuse” of not working in a smoke filled environment doesn’t hold water.

 

CAFETERIA - With only 18 days remaining in the school year, check with Sue Dressman at 342-2543 ASAP to sign up for the 2008-09 school year. Any parent needing to work their cafeteria days for this school year, please call Sue.   If you have worked some cafeteria days and cannot work the rest of them, let Sue know ASAP.
