They are doing the best they can to keep the children safe and need
your cooperation, if not your respect and admiration!
In the mornings when you are dropping off your children, please have their backpacks, lunch, and other belongings in the car, not in the trunk. This will help expedite traffic flow during the morning rush. Please remind your student to follow the directions of the crossing guard.
Come and experience a cultural feast for the eyes, as students
perform "Turn your world around" a showcase of music, dance and much more."
We are filming the event and DVD's will be on sale for only $5. Look for an order from in next week's blue folder or contact Susannah Vaughan at pta@mrjim.com SUMMER PROGRAMS
As the summer approaches, the school office receives many brochures
and flyers for classes, camps and workshops. If you're looking for
a summer program for your child, be sure to stop by the office and
take a look at these opportunities.
MEDICATIONS IN THE OFFICE Katy Waugh, RN, PHN, CNS
If you have stored your child's medications in the Nimitz Health Office,
please make arrangements to take them home on the last day of school.
Any medication that remains after the close of school will be discarded.
|
If your children are attending summer school and will need the medication
during the shortened day, please take it to that school site's main
office on the first day of classes.
LOST AND FOUNDIf it will be necessary for your child to receive medication during the school day next year, please pick up a blue Medication Authorization form at the school office before the last day of school, June 15th. In order for either prescription or over-the-counter medications to be given at school, both the doctor and the parent must sign the form. When completed, bring the Medication Administration form and the medication (in the original container) to the secretaries in the school office. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me: voice-mail 408-252-3000 ext. 475 or E-mail waugh_katy@cupertino.k12.ca.us. Have a happy and healthy summer!
With the onset of warm weather, our lost and found is overflowing
with sweatshirts, jackets, and coats. Please remember to check the
bags located near the restrooms. Any unclaimed items will be
donated to charity on the last day of school.
Please take a moment and search under the beds and on student's
bookshelves for any overdue books from the library or lost classroom
textbooks. You will be receiving a notification from Mrs. Gallatin
regarding any books that have not been returned. If your child
cannot find the book, they will be charged for the lost book.
Books are very expensive and we cannot afford to absorb the cost
of lost or destroyed books. Students will not receive a report card
until all library charges are paid. If the book is found after you
have paid, your money will be refunded. Thank you for your
understanding regarding this matter.

PLAN FOR SUMMER READING ACTIVITIES WITH YOUR CHILD
Does your child have a summer reading plan? If not, try the following
steps to make a plan together:
DISTRICT NEWS
STUDENT LUNCH ACCOUNTS
Students moving to a new school within Cupertino Union School District
(CUSD) or from elementary to middle school for the 2007-2008 school
year will have their remaining school lunch account balances automatically
transferred to their new school cafeteria. Money balances left in
all student lunch accounts at the end of the current school year will
remain in each student's name under his/her personal account and if
the student moves, will follow the student to his/her new school within
CUSD. On the first day of school in August, all students will be
reissued their cafeteria personal identification number (PIN).
Students who have moved to new schools or middle schools will be
assigned a new cafeteria PIN for use during meal times. Newly assigned
PIN s are connected to student's existing cafeteria lunch account balances.
Parents with children moving out of the school district may request a
refund of their child's existing cafeteria account balances by contacting
the district Student Nutrition Services Department at
(408) 252-3000, Extension 302.
DO YOU FEEL YOUR CHILD HAS A SPEECH OR LANGUAGE DELAY?
The Cupertino Early Intervention Preschool offers a special education
program for preschool children between the ages of three (3) and
five (5) who demonstrate a significant delay in speech and/or language
development. The program is provided through federal funding at
no cost to parents. Immediate openings are available. Parents, teachers,
or child care providers interested in having a child tested may call
Pupil Services at the District Office, 252-3000, Extension 119 to
receive an information packet. Packets must be received by June 8,
2007, to be considered for summer testing. If your child will be
five (5) before December 2, 2007, contact your home school for
testing in the fall.
