Step Up To Writing
Friday, March 30 is an in-service day for all teachers for the Step Up to Writing program.
You will see a number of substitute teachers in school this Friday.
Tuition
Only 16 families have completed the survey. We need an additional 120 families to please go to http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/5XGZD29 and give your input on whether you want to pay the increase to keep the music and P.E. programs for next year.
I am proposing that it would take about $38,049 to support our part-time music and P.E. program. An additional $13,400 is the proposed cost to support the Spanish program.
I presented the following for 3 programs at our PTO meeting :
Tuition for one child would be $4514.00 + $200 would equal $4714. Divided by 11monthly payments would be $428.54 monthly, an increase of $37.25 from last year’s monthly payment of $391.29. Divided by 8 days per month (music and P.E. are taught twice per week) the increase is $4.66 a day.
Tuition for two children would be $6578.00 + 200 which equal $6778. Divided by 11months, the monthly payment would be to equal $616.18, increase of $64.09 from this year’s $552.09. Divided by 8 days per month, the increase of two children would be $4.00 a day for each child.
Tuition for 3 children would be $9028 + 200 which equal $9228. Divided by 11 months, the monthly payment would be $ 838.91, an increase of $204.55 from last year was $684.36. Divided by 8 days per month, the increase for three children would be $8.50 per day, or $2.83 per child.

It is that time for kinder parents to volunteer for lunch. Parents can earn lunch credit for their child. If you are interested in volunteering call the school office ASAP.
Parents need to be fingerprinted and have attended a Virtus class before volunteering to work with children.
Food for Family Thought
God has planted a seed of faith in each child. You have a major influential role in how well that seed of faith is nurtured. Pray that you can respond to the opportunities to nurture tender faith each day.
