School Uniforms

I wanted to pass some information along to all the parents about various local vendors who are selling school uniforms.

Wal-mart - Drake Avenue; Sizes 4-16; Price Ranges from $7.00 - $10.00

Target - Jones Valley Store; Price Ranges from $7.00 - $10.00

If you are planning to travel to Birmingham or Nashville and are a member of Costco, they have school uniforms by Nautica. Price Ranges $7.79 - $9.97. I have requested that our local store also ask this vendor to come to Huntsville. I'll keep you updated.

Thanks to all the Operation Facelift Volunteers!

Many thanks to all the volunteers who came out this morning to give our campus a facelift! It was a huge success! The campus looks awesome! It was so nice to see everyone working together to make our entire campus absolutely beautiful. I especially enjoyed seeing the students who came out to show their school pride. I've posted some pictures!



I hope to see everyone on August 5th at 6:00 p.m.

2010-2011 Class Assignments and Other Updates

K-5 classroom assignments will be posted in the front entrance window on July 30 after 12:00 p.m. Middle school students will be listed by the homeroom/advisory teacher.




Middle school schedules will be ready for pick-up on July 30 and August 2 from 2:00 p.m. -6:00 p.m. Students in grades 3-8 may also purchase their planner ($5.00); 6-8 students will need to pay for a hall/PE locker ($10.00) at this time. The locker rental fee covers the cost of the annual maintenance, i.e. reprogramming combinations.



Please remember to mark your calendar for our Back-to-School Orientation on August 5, 2010 from 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. You will have an opportunity to meet your child's teacher(s) and receive a brief overview of grade level procedures and expectations. I will also send an electronic "evite" invitation to get an estimate of how many families plan on attending.



I have asked that a representative from the Extended Day Program attend the Orientation to enroll any families who may be interested in their services.



Bus routes should be available at the Orientation. I requested these last week from Durham Bus Services and I was informed that the routes should be ready this week. Hopefully, I will definitely have these before August 5th.



Our school is participating in the "Tools for Schools" program sponsored by Channel 19 and Jerry Damson Honda/Acura. I'm not sure what supplies our school will receive, but please let me know if you need any of the basic school supplies. I also have some "Tools for Schools" backpacks from last year's distribution. I anticipate that we will receive some additional ones this year.



If you have any specific questions that I haven't answered, please do not hesitate to send me an e-mail. I think all the essential information has been addressed to ensure a smooth opening of school! I am so EXCITED!



Thanks,

Tammy Summerville
