A Message from the PTA President - Julie Fretwell, September 2010

Welcome to the 2010-2011 school year! I can’t
believe the summer went by so quickly! My name is
Julie Fretwell and I will be serving as your PTA
President and Yearbook co-chair this year. My
husband John and I have two daughters. Kaela is a
sophomore in college and Stephanie is in 6th grade
here at Del Cerro. This is my fourth year serving on
the PTA.
I am looking forward to another successful year with
the PTA. We are looking to support many programs
this year that include Hands on Science, Art Masters
and Reading Counts in order to enhance our
student’s educational experience. We are also going
to continue our efforts in bringing everyone together
as a community with special Book Fair events, Family
Fun Nights and maybe another carnival since it was
such a huge success last year.
Please join us for our first meeting on Monday,
September 20th at 7:00 p.m. in the Library to find
out what’s in store for Del Cerro this year. If you
have any questions or concerns, please contact me at
president@delcerro.org.
If you would like to help out at the school, let me
know! Together we can find a place for you!

Parking Lot Safety

As our school has grown this year; so has the parking
lot congestion. Please be courteous and patient and set
a good example for your children. Do not park in the
staff spaces and please drive slowly and WATCH out for
children. It is vital that students not be in the parking
lot unless accompanied by their parent.
Students must use the sidewalk at all
times. Parents please discuss this
with your student(s). Your child’s
safety is very important to us.  For more detailed information, check out our Parking Lot Safety page

Principal's Message - September 2010 by Dr. Callison

Welcome to Del Cerro! It is going to
be a great year with lots of activities
and new experiences for our Del
Cerro Dolphins. Teachers are preparing classrooms and
materials for our first day, which is Monday, September
13th. We will have a modified day on September 13th
and a late start for our students:
Kindergarten 11:00 am – 2:30 pm
Grades 1-6 10:30 am – 2:45 pm
On Tuesday, September 14th, we will be on our regular
schedule. Please check the school calendar located at
www.delcerro.org for important dates and times for the
school year. All needed information is listed there for
parent convenience. We begin the year with 21 classes
and over 600 students, two new sixth grade teachers
and a very supportive and active PTA. Please join Julie
Fretwell, PTA President, and her working team for our
monthly meetings (also listed at www.delcerro.org) and
the many important events that make Del Cerro such a
special place for learning.
Parents and their active support are important keys to
making Del Cerro a lighthouse for educational
excellence. Our teachers appreciate the students you
send us and parents’ willingness to share their time and
treasure for the benefit of the school and its programs.
We expect the 2010-2011 school year to be productive
and positive for all of our students. We look forward to
recognizing their achievements, their successes in and
out of the classroom and to celebrate their ability to
challenge themselves, growing in maturity and stature
through out the year. It is going to be a great year for
all of us at Del Cerro and we are glad to have you and
your children helping us continue the legacy of
excellence and pride we share together.
Welcome Back!
