Important Notes for 4th Co-op Meeting

Greetings in Christ! After enjoying a wonderful field trip, we are now happy to return to our co-op schedule!

 

Announcements:

• Father Carr plans to visit this Monday! Please welcome him with open arms and friendly faces!
• Fees for Field Trip #1: We ask that all families who signed up for field trip 1 (even if they did not attend) please pay the $4 fee per K-6th student if you haven't done so yet. Please understand that supplies were bought in anticipation of the number of students who signed up and these supplies cannot be returned. They now belong to the co-op for the rest of the year.Thank you.
• New Teachers/Positions: The 4th-6th Grade teachers are now Mrs. Kathy Herter and Mrs. Elizabeth Pullen. Pamela Qualkinbush has graciously stepped forward to do Hall Clean-up in place of Mrs. Pullen.
• No Tolerance Policy: Schola Rosa has a no tolerance policy when it comes to violence or rude behavior. We will be having someone speak to the 4th-6th grade class on Monday about the greater responsibility that comes with greater strength.
• MICROSCOPES: Please bring a microscope, if you have one.

How to prepare?

1. K-6th Students need the map for Week 4 (Classically Catholic Memory); children can share.
2. 4th-6th graders also need Puella Romana.
3. Student binders!
4. If you have any outstanding field trip 1 fees, please bring payment in cash.
5. Here are some other preparation tips for a successful first day: http://www.scholarosa.blogspot.com/2012/09/tips-for-successful-first-day.html

 

Some Rules to remember:

1. Keep your children with you at all times unless they are in class. During Morning Assembly and during Dismissal, children should be with their parents and not wandering around nor chatting with other children. We especially remind parents with older children not to allow the older children to go about in the building without adult supervision.
2. It is our responsibility to watch our own children and to guarantee their safety. If we are concerned or worried about anything at any time, it is our responsibility to bring it up. Christina Durgin will be on hand in the hall way to field concerns.
3. Do not touch anything without asking first. VA Hills is not our property, and it is important that we respect their property by not touching things without permission. (This is a good rule to go over with your children before they arrive.)
4. Remind your children of the old adage: If you do not have something nice to say, then do not say anything at all. This is especially true in art class, where many students are sensitive about showing their art skills in a group.
5. Also, talk to your children about good listening: We listen with our eyes by looking at the person talking; with our mouth by keeping it closed; with our body by not wiggling, and with our ears by hearing. :) You can apply the appropriate motions to the reminders, if you like. :)

**Special Notes for Teachers** Please arrive early enough to allow yourselves time to meet in the Art Room before Morning Assembly for a very brief meeting.

Please email with any questions between now and Monday!

May St. Bridget, Saint for October 8th, pray for us!
