Where & When are the Home & School meetings?
All H&S meetings are held in Trainer Hall.
The next meeting for 2009/2010 school year will be May 5th.
All are welcome to attend.
Who picks the volunteers for the fundraising events?
Anyone and everyone is encouraged to lend a helping hand.
Typically there is a coordinator for each event that is available
if questions arise. Imformation regarding the coordinator and
the event will usually be sent home in the Wednesday
Communication Envelope. It's a great opportunity to meet some
new people and build a stronger bond between home and school.
How do I get in touch with my child's teacher?
Most teachers have an e-mail link on their Teacher Web page, you
can call the school office to leave a message for the teacher to
call you back or you can send in a note with your child asking
for a call.
I'm new to the school/parish and have quite a few questions.
You can either contact the school office or the Home & School
email at stchrishsa@live.com.
What is Special Lunch?
Special lunch is a fund raising event that benefits the kids with
a special treat with a different lunch than the usual daily hot
lunch program. On days of special lunch there will not be any
hot lunch served. Volunteers are always needed on special lunch
days - check in at the office at 11:00.
What is the Nutritional Lunch Program?
The NLP provides our school with pre-ordered, well balanced,
nutritional hot lunches. Envelopes and menu's are sent home in
advance and must be received on time. Do not order lunch on a
day when your child's class will be on a class trip - you won't
get a refund. If your child is out sick on a day that you
ordered lunch, you will get a credit - make note of the sick day
on the next envelope. Nutritional lunch on Monday is usually a
cold meal because the seniors meet in the lunchroom. Forms are
available and have been sent home to see if your family qualifies
for free or reduced rate lunches.
What if I want to take vacation during school?
Most teachers will not give any advance work for you to complete
during vacation. Ample time will be given when you return to
make up any missed assignments. Please make sure you tell the
teacher as early as you can to avoid any confusion or problems.
What can I send in for the class when it is my child's birthday?
With the increase in food allergies, it is best to check with the
teacher first to see what they would consider the best options.
Most times, the kids really enjoy Munchkins, cupcakes and
brownies or candy. Non food options would be pencils, notebooks,
stickers, erasers, small toys, books, bookmarks.
What is Sweets Day?
Sweets Day is offered twice a year and it is where candy and
treats are donated by you and the children can purchase these
items for 25 cents each. This is a H&S fundraising event. Treats
that are popular are Nerds, Laffy Taffy, Airheads, Ring pops, Cow
Tails, Jolly Ranchers, Nerd Ropes. They also enjoy baked goods.
Please mark anything homemade if it includes nuts.
