Dear Moms and Dads,

 

Great news.  Mrs. Lemminger, our fifth grade homeroom teacher in the Middle School, applied for a $300 grant from the Educational Foundation of Watertown to purchase more Accelerated Reader tests and they said, “Yes!”   A nice gift from generous people.  Speaking of generous people, Mrs. Gloria Higgins, a volunteer here for many, many years just covered the cost of a new sink and counter in the kindergarten room.  They are beautiful!  Thank you and God bless you, Mrs. Higgins.

 

The Kindergarten and Grades 1 – 8 children will have report cards for you today.  The 1-8 ones came off the computer via the new Student Information System.  They aren’t as attractive as our “old-fashioned” ones, but they do contain the information you are looking for.  You may keep the sheet but please sign the parent signature sheet that accompanies them and return that sheet in the report card envelope.  Another important sheet for you to return Monday will be one asking for days and times you will be available for the Parent-Teacher Conferences this month.  Please return them ASAP so we can set the appointments. 

 

The Student Council Food Drive on behalf of Watertown’s St. Vincent DePaul Society enters into its second and final week.  Of course, any non-perishable food items or commonly needed paper goods will certainly be welcomed.

 

Lots of sickness bugs around.  We are averaging between 6 and 12 children out each day these last few weeks.  Some have had a fever, and parents report their doctors are assuming it’s the H1N1 and treating it as such without actually testing for it.  St. Bernard School sent a note home today confirming two cases of it.  So thank you for being cautious and keeping children who are feeling under the weather home.  Keep washing those hands often with soap and hot water!  Good luck.
