Happy New Year to Everyone!
Good Monday Morning! January 6, 2009. It is a Day #3.
Welcome back to school and welcome to the New Year! I am very excited to have the students and staff back at school. It is too quiet without them! A school is not meant to be empty and quiet. It is supposed to be filled with kids learning and teachers teaching! I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays and were able to spend time with family and friends.
A few notes:
1. AFES will be hosting Essex County Health Dept. tomorrow, Wed. Jan. 7th as they provide free flu immunizations for the students as well as immunizations for the adults (at a cost of $20.00 for the adults).
2. There will be a PTO meeting this Thursday at 6:30pm in the cafeteria. We had to cancel the December meeting due to the busyness of the season and the poor weather, so we will catch up on the PTO business tonight. But as always, President Campbell will keep us on task to get through everything in a timely manner. We do recognize that everyone has busy schedules and other responsibilities and we want to sensitive to that. So Mrs. Campbell has set a goal of getting through the meeting by 8:00pmn at the latest whenever possible. Thank you Mrs. Campbell for you understanding and consideration.
3. There will be a Student Recognition Award assembly this Friday at 1:15pm in the AFES Gym.
4. Next week (Jan. 13-15) we will be administering the NYS ELA Assessments to the students in grades 3-5. We will administer the NYS ELA Assessments to the 6th graders the following week (Jan. 20-22). These are important tests. Please be sure your student(s) is well rested and has had a good breakfast each day prior to the test.
5. Friday, January 16th the PTO will be hosting another “Family Reading Night”. This is becoming a very popular event. The attendance more than doubled for the second Family Reading Night (held in Oct. 08). Thank you to Rebecca Douglas for organizing this event. Thank you to Sierra and Cory Hanf of the Hollywood Theater for the donation of popcorn, and to all the other PTO members that help to make this such a successful event.
Have a nice day!
