Haughan’s Highlights: 1/18

Hello San Tan Families,

This week we are overflowing with an abundance of clothes, lunch boxes, and water bottles!  It is time to check the Lost & Found bin again since we will be making another donation to charity with the items at the end of the week.  If you think your child is missing an item, please be sure that you have your child check it out, or better yet, stop in and check with your child after school.

Club offerings are available to preview online and registration begins on Jan. 23rd.  It is first come first serve, and a line does form on the first day, so please come with your patience as our staff works tirelessly to process your club requests as quickly as possible. http://www.santanlearningcenter.com/families/clubs/

The proposed curriculum for Middle School Mathematics is currently available for parents to view in the district office.  Parents are welcome to come in and view the material before the board votes on selecting a mathematics program at the next board meeting.

Thank you to all the parents that attended our Parent Math Night this week.  Parental involvement plays an integral role in student achievement, and we are grateful for all your efforts to support your child in their math progress at home.

It is already the time of year when parents starting thinking about enrollment for the 2012-2013 school year.  We have begun preschool enrollment and the due date is February 3rd for enrollment packets to be returned.  The packet and forms are also available in the front office and are posted on our website at www.santanlc.com under the Montessori and Admissions.  I have also attached the forms to this email for your convenience.

Elementary and Middle School Enrollment Packets will go out at the end of January and will be due back to the front office by February 29th.

Other FEC Highlights

Fresh & Easy- We need to collect all Fresh and Easy receipts dated September 15, 2011 through December 31, 2011 by the end of this week.  Please turn them in by Friday after school.  Also, our Fresh & Easy Shop for Schools night is on January 26th from 4-8.  If you are interested in volunteering at this event, please use the sign-up genius to come help support our team.  We will receive a portion of the sales, so remember to grocery shop at Fresh & Easy and come see the teachers, administration, and parents of your school community helping to bag your groceries!

Please turn in, as soon as possible, any Labels for Education that you have saved at home.

We are thrilled that Art Masterpiece is starting in the classrooms this month!  Be sure to ask your child what they learned during their art lessons. Please check with your classroom coordinator if you are interested in helping with this program.

Tickets are still available in the front office for the Daddy Daughter Dance on February 4th, so stop in anytime and get a ticket for your family!

If you have not had a chance, be sure to take a look at our updated thermometers outside.  We are well on our way for the Tax Credit and Growing Brilliance campaigns!  The staff is forever grateful to our wonderful group of parents that make specials and teacher bonuses possible.  We were thrilled to see how many parents contributed to tax credit in December to make the cut-off for their 2011 taxes.  We cannot thank you enough for your support in making our school community a great place for students.
