October meeting agenda

Meeting is Tuesday, October 5th at 6:00 pm in the cafeteria.

Just a couple things we need to cover…

Update on the amount of money made from the fundraiser

Help during pick-up on Oct 19th

Fall Festival update

Fall parties dates - Nov. 23 in the afternoon

Angel tree dates-
*This came from Michelle Prewitt-
I wanted to give you an update on the Giving Tree (Angel Tree) that Lisa Braun and I do every year. Both Lisa and I have daughters that dance on Tuesday evenings that conflict with CWP meetings. As of right now I have already made contact with Social Services and they are getting the ball rolling. Since we are doing the Giving Tree (Angel Tree) at Central and Clark Vitt we wanted to run some dates by you. We were looking at November 16 and November 17 for the students to choose their angels and then December 1 and December 2 for the students to return their gifts. These dates are around the dates we chose last year and they seemed to work well.
Thank you Michelle!

See you there!

Principal, Central Elementary

Homecoming is this Friday!

On Friday, if parents want to pick-up early for the parade or any other reason, they need to pick up before noon. If anyone out of the ordinary is picking up a child early, we need a note to teacher.

We will be sitting along Springfield Avenue by class. Please do not to sit in the roped off sections. Also, please do not try to sit with the classes because it is very hard to distinguish adults that should not be with the classes if we have a lot of non-staff members with the students.
We will dismiss at normal Friday time, however, please be patient as we will probably be running behind due to the festivities!!

I also want to thank everyone for their donations to our recess equipment! The kids are really enjoying all the new balls, the basketball hoop and the play house!

Just a reminder to please refrain from using your cell phones when dropping off or picking up students. We have had one minor finder bender where no one was hurt, but as you know it could have been much worse!

We have also found some cigarette butts around the driveway. If you happen to see any of these could you please help us by picking them up so the students do not find them during recess or any other time.

Hello Everyone!

I wanted to thank everyone that brought in balls and toys for the students to use at recess. We are dividing them out to get them into circulation.

Tomorrow the students will be bringing home their Signature Fundraiser Booklets. Please take the opportunity to look them over and see if there is anything you can use : )

We are also starting to see some problems with the "silly bracelets." We have not banned them yet, but please remind your child to wear them correctly or leave them at home. If they are being worn incorrectly, we will need to take them away from the student for the parent to pick up.

NO SCHOOL MONDAY!

Next Friday, September 10th is Family Movie Night!

Enjoy the long weekend!
Aaron Jones
Principal, Central Elementary

Request for Help!

Central is looking for some help!

Do you like to go to garage sales? Do you have things in your basement that the students can play with one the playground?

We are looking for balls and any of the Little Tykes plastic outdoor equipment for the kids to use.
All items will be checked for safety before they will be put to use.

Our CWP has playground equipment as one of the things we are going to purchase this year, but that will not happen until after the fundraiser, which will not be finalized until October or November.

PLEASE, FOR THE SAFETY OF EVERYONE THAT IS WALKING AROUND THE PARKING LOTS, REFRAIN FROM USING YOU CELL PHONES WILL DRIVING ON CAMPUS!

Principal, Central Elementary

Note on Morning Drop-offs

Hello Parents!

What a fun and exciting first week of school we have had! I would like to thank everyone for their patience when it comes to drop-off and pick-up. Even when the fire alarm goes off !

We are always looking for ways to speed the process up while continuing to keep the students safety at the highest level. A couple of things we are going to do for the morning process is:

• allow kids into the building at 7:15.
• at 7:40 we are going to open a second lane around the flag pole for drop-offs. The only problem with this is we can’t slow down the busses. In this lane we will need parents to pull up as far as possible (all the way to the end of the edge of the sidewalk that is painted blue) and to have everyone along the sidewalk allow their children out of the car.
• the best way to not have to wait in line is to be here before 7:25!!

A reminder, school is starting at 7:50 this year. If you arrive after 7:50 you will need to park and bring your student into the building.

Aaron Jones
Principal, Central Elementary

Letter from district concerning bus changes

Below is a letter that is coming home with your child today. Please review it so there are no issues that come up that put us all in a bind.

The first day has been great!!

Please be patient with dismissal!

Aaron Jones
Principal, Central Elementary

***
Dear Parents of students who ride the bus,

Student safety is the primary concern when it comes to transporting our students. In that regard we want to go over some general safety issues that may arise in the upcoming year.
Changing the bus or destinations in which your child will ride in the afternoon.

• Some parents have set routines; everyday your child rides the same bus to the same location. That is great, because the driver knows that student and where he/she lives and this is a safe situation for the child.

• Some parents have set routines also that may differ than that above, for example a child may ride bus “A” on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, while on Wednesday and Friday the child rides bus “B”. As long as this is a set pattern, this is also great because the drivers knows that student and where he/she lives or where he/she needs to be dropped off and this is a safe situation for the child.

• A big safety concern however is; when the schools get phone calls saying that a child needs to ride a different bus to a different location. This causes concern because:

1. The child may not know where he/she is going thus confusing the child and he/she may get off at a wrong location because the driver may not know the child.

2. We cannot be 100% sure that the person making the phone call has the authority to make that change for the child.

3. It becomes very confusing for the school and our students at dismissal time trying to make sure what bus the child is supposed to ride. When there is confusion, a child may not know what he/she is supposed to do.

NEW PROCEDURES for the Safety of our Students:

1. We ask that if there will be a change, we receive either a hand written note with a signature, a fax with a signature, or an e-mail with a PDF with a written signature. We must receive this change no less than 24 hours in advance.

2. We do realize that there will be emergencies; however, these should be limited and will be handled on a case by case basis.

We understand this may take more planning, but it is for the safety and welfare of all of our children. We want to ensure every child is dropped off at the proper location with the appropriate supervision.

We thank you in advance for your cooperation as we try and make changes for the safety of all the children of the Union R-XI School District.

Sincerely,
Steve Bryant, Superintendent
Union R-XI School District

April Meeting Minutes

Julie Duvall reported that the account currently has $11,043.45. Funds that still need to be distributed from that are for 1st and 3rd grade field trips, several teacher allocations, the SmartBoard, MAP snacks, and Teacher Appreciation lunch.

Julie noted that Dr. Stephens is now looking at InterWrite Boards versus the SmartBoard, as the school can get several InterWrites to the cost of one SmartBoard.

Julie also said that CWP stuffed and "hid" nearly 3,000 eggs for the egg hunt. The students enjoyed it immensely. Thank you to the parents and teachers who helped out. Special thank you to the businesses that sponsored the event, including AQM Computer Help.

Donnie Schuttenberg announced that CWP will be sponsoring Teacher Appreciation Week, May 3rd to 7th. A few businesses have given gift certificates and other small items for the teachers. Any other donations are still being sought. He also said that CWP would be sponsoring a catered lunch for the teachers on a to be determined day during that week. Catering would be by C&D Catering, who is his aunt.

The first meeting for the 2010-2011 school year will be Tuesday, July 13th at 6 p.m. at Central Elementary. Any further planning for next year was put on hold since Mr. Jones was unable to attend the meeting.

Spring Egg Hunt Rescheduled

The Spring Egg Hunt has been rescheduled for Wednesday, March 31st, during school hours. The students will hunt for eggs at each lunch recess.

PARENTS NEEDED! We need help placing eggs on Wednesday morning, from 9 am to 10:30 am. Any help given would be appreciated.

POSTPONED - Spring Egg Hunt

Due to extenuating circumstances, the Spring Egg Hunt has been postponed until April. Therefore, we will not need parent helpers on Friday evening or Saturday morning for preparation or set up.

However, we will need helpers in April after the new date has been set. We will keep you updated as soon as we have the event rescheduled.

Spring Egg Hunt helpers needed

The Spring Egg Hunt is next week already - yikes! Brandy needs more parents to help with stuffing the eggs and then hiding them before the event. CWP events are only successful with parent involvement, so we encourage you to contact Brandy immediately to help out with this event. Here is her information:

Brandy McKenzie

This is another super fun event for the Central Elementary students and family. We hope to see you there!

BINGO! was so much fun!

Students and parents packed out the cafeteria to play Bingo last Friday evening. What a blast it was! Everyone munched on popcorn, sipped sodas, and attempted to keep their sleeves from knocking the beans off their cards.

There were a ton of door prizes given away, two large raffle baskets and a Skaterz birthday party raffled off, and the Blackout winner also received a Skaterz birthday party. Everyone had lots of fun.

Thank you to the parents who organized this event - Krista Stranghoener and Julie Duvall!

And thank you to the businesses who sponsored the event!

Minutes for Meeting, March 2nd

Meeting began with a welcome by Tyann Marcink.

Julie Duvall was absent, so Krista Stranghoener reported for Julie that the only expenditure the past month was one teacher check for $125. Everything else has stayed the same.

Krista said that Bingo Night was on track, and that they have many door prizes from business donations. Skaterz donated two birthday parties. One will be used for a raffle, and the other used for the blackout prize. Cards will be $1 each, and soda and popcorn will be 50 cents each.

Brandy was unable to attend, so Krista reported for her. She is need of parent volunteers for stuffing eggs with candy and prizes, as well as set up on Saturday morning. She is not getting a lot of business sponsors, so she requested if CWP could purchase eggs to make up the difference, most likely around 1,000 more eggs will be needed. The group approved the expenditure.

Tyann reported that Kasey Straatmann is working on getting bids and designs together for the CWP shirts. Anyone with an idea for a design is asked to email it to Kasey at kaseystraatmann@sbcglobal.net. The goal is to have a few shirts available by the first of the school year for parents to purchase. Ongoing orders would be taken and then placed everyo ther month or when a specific number has been reached.

Traci Canby was unable attend, so Tyann reported for her about the MAP goodie bags. Sam's Club has the best prices for cheese sticks, pre sliced apples, granola bars, and oatmeal bars. She is looking for parent helpers each morning.

The group decided that April will be the final meeting for the school year. The first meeting for the 2010-2011 school year will be in August.

Julie Duvall has stated that she would like to remain treasurer for the next school year. If someone would like to help her out and train for the position to take over the following year, she would be happy to do that.

Amanda Bequette was unable to attend, so we do not know if she would like to be secretary next year.

Mr. Jones, the new principal beginning next year and current principal at Clark Vitt, described how the Clark Vitt parent/teacher group worked. He leads the meetings and delegates organizers for events. Tyann asked him to consider how he would like the CWP to run next year.

There was general discussion about the CWP events that were held this past fall, and the consensus was that we would like to do them again if possible.

Dr. Stephens suggested doing an actual Open House in the fall some time so that students could show parents their classrooms, the cafeteria, gym, etc.

Third grade is set to go to the Science Center on May 12th for their field trip. Kindergarten is going to the Earth's Classroom in Rosebud on 3 different days in April and May.

Meeting was adjourned.
