A Message from the PTA President - February 2011
It’s hard to believe that the year is half over and there is still so much going on! Each event or activity takes time, effort and several volunteers to accomplish. I am thankful that we have such wonderful volunteers helping to make each and every task a success!
Believe it or not, it’s time to start working on your yearbook pages! If you are a room parent or volunteered to do your class’ page, the deadline to turn in completed pages is February 18th. Send it via email to Julie Fretwell or put it on a cd in pdf format marked “yearbook” and your teacher’s name. Cd’s can be turned in to your teacher or through the front office. Don’t know how to make a page? That’s ok! Just submit no more than 30-35 pictures on a cd by February 11th and the page will get done for you. Please make sure every child in the class is represented. If you have any other questions on how to do a collage page, please don’t hesitate to contact me with questions and I will help you out!
The jog-a-thon is coming! February 25th is the annual jog -a-thon. We need volunteers! A flyer has gone home already so if you are available to help that day, please fill it out and return it to school. If you don’t know what tie your child’s class will be running, email me and I will find out for you!
The next Family Fun Night is March 4th. Mrs. Marilyn Wenzel, our Hands on Science teacher will be doing some fun experiments that you don’t want to miss out on! Remember last year’s bouncing quarter on the dry ice? Let’s see what she brings this time! Want to know what’s going on? Come to the next PTA Meeting on Monday, February 7th. I promise we won’t bite! :)

Principal's Message February 2011
Dear Parents,
The benefits of the Internet are considerable; email, chat with friends, news and information, entertainment, shopping, travel info, selling surplus items, exchanging family and friends pictures, just to name a few. Along with the many benefits there are some risks. It is important to remind all users that when you are online you are in public. The Internet is a global network of networks. Rules and standards vary by community and user. It is important for parents to reduce the risks for their children. It is important to set reasonable rules and guidelines for Internet use and a good idea to discuss these rules with your children and post them near the computer as a reminder. Monitoring and limiting computer and Internet use will allow students to be active participants in the many applications of technology and parents will be confident in their child’s online safety.
SUGGESTED INTERNET RULES FOR CHILDREN:
1. I will not give out personal information such as my address, telephone number, parents’ work address/telephone number, or the name and location of my school without my parents’ permission.
2. I will tell my parents right away if I come across information that makes me feel uncomfortable.
3. I will never agree to get together with someone I “meet” online without first checking with my parents.
4. I will never send a person my picture or anything else without first checking with my parents.
5. I will not respond to any messages that are mean or in any way make me feel uncomfortable. I will tell my parents right away so that they can contact the service provider.
6. I will talk with my parents so that we can set up rules for going online. We will decide upon the time of day
that I can be online the length of time I can be online and appropriate areas for me to visit.
7. I will not give out my Internet password to anyone (even my best friends) other than my parents.
8. I will check with my parents before downloading or installing software.
9. I will be a good online citizen and not do anything that hurts other people or is against the law.
Technology can be a great tool for learning, but the Internet, like schools, homes and every other good place does have some risks. As parents and educators we can provide guidance and direction to maximize their success.
