UNIQUE Parent Meetings 2007-08December 20, 2007
“Understanding Needs of Individuals in the Quest to Understand Everyone” A UNIQUE and Special Education Presentation by Jack Potts, Esquire Discussion to include: Wills, Guardianships, and Trusts Winter Weather: Be PreparedDecember 13, 2007
Serious weather conditions or other emergencies may make it necessary to close school, delay the opening of school, or dismiss students early. Due to the number of students that we serve, coupled with addressing circumstances of an emergency situation, it is not possible to make individual phone calls to parents and/or guardians. Emergency information will be posted on the District web site and will be broadcasted over the radio and television. Please monitor these communication systems as needed. We ask that you do not call the school, as unnecessary phone calls will tie up our phone lines and personnel needed to deal with the emergency.
During dismissal, our school driveways and parking lots can become very congested. School bus transportation is the safest means of getting our students home. We encourage parents to have children use school bus transportation during inclement weather. This way our roads, driveways, and parking lots will be less congested. Please note that when school is cancelled, all after-school or evening programs or activities for that day are also cancelled. (Breakfast is not served on late opening days.) Attention 5th Grade ParentsDecember 13, 2007 The 2008 PSSA writing tests will be administered to our fifth graders the week of February 11. Please do not plan any appointments or trips for this week. You can refer to the PA Department of Education website www.pde.state.pa.us for further information regarding the 2008 Writing Assessment.
