Take your family to dinner at the PTO Dine-Out event at Souplantation on Thursday 11/17, and be sure to bring your flyer. Everyone from both campuses is invited to the PTO Family Movie Night on Friday 11/18, and students in grades 5-8 can enjoy their own movies at the Middle School Movie Night . Also, don’t forget that ECDS Early Re-Enrollment ends on Friday 11/18.
This year really seems to be flying by, as it is already time for Parent Teacher Conferences. It was great to see so many parents meeting with our teachers and finding out how their children were doing in all their classes. Parents of grade 7 & 8 students should be sure to check your parent mailboxes in the office, because I placed a copy of your student’s second Interim Report in all the boxes on Wednesday for you to go over with your child. As always, if you were unable to meet with your teacher, please talk to your child’s teacher about arranging a meeting either before or after school.
Thanksgiving week is fast approaching. Both ECDS campuses will be doing the annual Thanksgiving Feasts on Wednesday, November 23. Please check with your child’s teacher to ask about donating food items for the feast, or in the case of Preschool and Kindergarten parents, how you can help volunteer that day.
Have a great long weekend, and we will see you next Friday at the PTO Family Movie Night!
Thanks, — Mr. Lehmunn
We are looking forward to our next school event which will be our annual Thanksgiving Feast. The children will be preparing a friendship stew in each 3-5 year-old classroom. Please check with your child’s teacher for the sign-up sheet for ingredients to bring a few days before the event. There is also a sign-up sheet for parent volunteers and extra food items by the front entrance near the office, and we’ll need corn bread, pies, and juice. This is a child-only school event, and parents who sign up for volunteering are welcome. There is a limited amount of volunteers needed, so come in and sign up if you are interested in helping out on Wednesday, November 23 between 9:15 and Noon. We look forward to this day of cooperation and friendship.
Please note that we will be closed this Friday in observance of Veteran’s Day, November 11. We will also be closed for Thanksgiving weekend on November 24 & 25. Have a wonderful three day weekend.
Thanks, — Ms. Safarik
Don’t forget, the deadline for Early Re-Enrollment for the 2012-13 school year is Friday, November 18. Re-enrolling before that date secures a school year position for your student next year, and guarantees you this year’s tuition rates. After November 18, the new rates for 2012-13 will go into effect.
Our November PTO Dine-Out event is at Souplantation from 5:00-8:00 PM next Thursday, November 17. Come and enjoy a great dinner with your family! You’ll be supporting our “PTO Teacher’s Fund” which buys a delicious lunch for all the teachers on Dine-Out day and supports our Teacher Appreciation event in May. Don’t forget to bring a flyer to the Dine-Out event, so our PTO will receive a 20% donation from the proceeds of all the ECDS families who participate.
Bring your whole family to our PTO Family Movie Night, next Friday 11/18 from 4:30-7:00 pm. Ticket prices will be $5.00 per person or $20 per family, or your entire family can get in for free if you sign up for eScrip. The PTO will be selling tickets outside the office next week. The Xtreme Fun “Dance Party” will start at 4:30, and then the PG-rated movie “Kung Fu Panda 2” will be shown on a jumbo outdoor movie screen starting at 5:30 pm. Bring beach chairs and blankets, and be sure to dress warmly. Come hungry, because you’ll be able to buy sandwiches, popcorn, drinks and movie theater treats. It will be fun for the whole family!
ECDS students in Grades 5-8 can be dropped off for their own ECDS Middle School Movie Night in the Library, next Friday 11/18 from 4:30-7:00 pm. Ticket prices will be $5.00 per student, or $10 for the ticket and dinner package. Two different movies will be shown – “Night at the Museum 2 – Battle of the Smithsonian” (rated PG) will be shown in the Library starting at 5:15 pm, and “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2” (rated PG-13) will be shown in the Media Room. Students must be 13 or have a signed permission form to view the PG-13 movie. Pick-up time will be promptly at 7:00 pm. Your Middle School student will have a great time at the movie night event!
Flyers will be in mailboxes next week with more information about the Encinitas Holiday Parade (December 3), the PTO Cookbook, and the PTO Holiday Shopping Extravaganza (December 7). Mark your calendars now so you don’t miss these upcoming events!
