Weekly Memo: 9/8/2009
Hot Lunch Begins - Monday 9/21
****Evert family is receiving this memo as email, and also it is published on www.saintbridgetschool.info. ****
Please make all after
school arrangements clear to everyone involved
before the children come to school! The children get very anxious when they
don’t have a note they know, or think, they should have or are confused about
where or with whom they are going after school. Any change in
plans MUST
be sent to school in WRITING,
by the parent/guardian making the changes (not the person providing the ride).
Just telling your child to tell the teacher is not sufficient; otherwise we must send the children to their usual
destination. (Verbal permission over the phone is not sufficient). Staying after school must be decided on and arranged ahead of
time with a written note, not a phone call the day of the change.
CORIs: Don’t forget! Anyone planning
to interact with the children must have a CORI. Come to the School Office!
“Protecting God’s Children”, Thursday Oct. 1st, 7-10pm, at St.
Bridget School Hall or Saturday Oct. 3rd,
11am-2pm, St. George’s Church, Saxonville. Please call Maria Cole at the
Rectory for registration. (CORI’s every year, Protecting God’s Children, only
once)
