Movie Event

May 12, 2009



Dear Parent/Guardian,

The fourth grade students and teachers will be offered the option of attending a showing of the movie, Night At the Museum II on Tuesday, May 26th. This is an optional activity that will require the students to generate their own transportation to and from Parkwood 18, along with locating their own chaperone. We will all be gathering at the theater and attending the showing of Night At the Museum II that is closest to 5:30 P.M. When the movie dates and times are announced on May 22nd, we will announce to the students at school what theater number and what time the movie will begin. The students will need to purchase their own tickets and treats, as this will not be considered a school-sponsored activity. We hope to see you there!

If you would like to chaperone this event and would consider driving students to and from the theater, please sign the form below and we will give your name and phone number to students so their parents may get in contact with you.



Just so we have an idea of how many students might be attending this movie on this night, we would like to have you sign below. Please return this form by Friday, May 22nd. You may still attend this event even if you do not return this form, but we would like an approximate number of students attending this event. Again, we hope to see you there!





Yes, _______________________________ will be attending the after school movie on May 26th. I will be responsible for their attendance or will find a chaperone to oversee my child.

Signed ________________________________________




Yes, I would be interested in transporting several students to and from the theater. Please post my phone number so parents may contact me about chaperoning their child.

News From the Office

Appropriate Dress-As the weather gets warmer, it is important to monitor how our students are coming to school. We also need to be good role models of what is appropriate to wear to school. Here is what our handbook says...
Our school expectations for student dress is as follows:
No strapless shirts or spaghetti straps
All tops must appropriately cover students front and back
No bare midriffs will be tolerated. When standing in a normal posture, without altering or stretching the top, it must not reveal any midriff skin.
Unreasonably short shorts, skorts, or skirts will not be allowed.
No inappropriate or suggestive messages on clothing.
There is no exposed underclothing, bras, panties, or boxers. Pants must ride above the buttocks.
A general rule is if a student has to ask someone if ther dress is appropriate, then it is probably not appropriate to wear to school.

Week of May 11th - PTAC has designated this week as Staff Appreciation Week....stay tuned for more details!
