NEWSLETTER BY EMAIL
Parents who have signed up as part of the parent email group will
receive the Dolphin Newsletter by email instead of a paper copy starting
in October. This will help the school save on duplicating costs and
legal-sized blue paper. This email group is used only by the school
and PTA to announce activities on campus. Also, the group will
not be shared with anyone outside of school. It's not too late
to sign up. Please fill out the green form that was included
in the first day packet and return it to your child's teacher by
Friday, September 14th. Additional forms are available in the office.
We will be glad to show you how to do this.
Even if you can only help for a limited amount of time, we would love
to see you. Please think about what this will mean to your child.
For questions, please call Mrs. Gallatin at 736-2180 ext. 150.
or signup using the Nimitz Online Volunteer Form.
This helps
keep our students in shape as they strive to reach their goal.
Last year our Nimitz students ran over 13,000 miles!
This program is not possible without parent support.
We need parents to help out during lunch (11:25-12:45)
Monday through Friday. If you are available to punch cards or
help supervise students, please email/call Tracy Burriss at
burriss_tracy@cupertino.k12.ca.us
or ph. (408) 732-4563. The Running Club would not be possible without
the help of many parent volunteers who help keep things moving!
Parents! You are welcome to join the children on the track for some mid-day exercise. Please check in at the office and get a visitor's pass and then come on out to the track to walk, jog, or run with the children. |

To become a docent, you just need to enjoy singing, like working with
children, and be available to teach 1/2 hour per week.
Music for Minors provides extensive training. You will learn everything
to teach music in your child's classroom once a week. This is a rewarding,
fun experience for you while you get to enrich the music education of your
child and their classmates. Please consider stepping forward to
volunteer for this wonderful program. Call Cathy Lampman at 650-851-5252
or Music for Minors at 650-237-9130. More information is also
available at http://www.mfm.org.
Participate in the eScrip program and support the education of our
children every time you shop! eScrip is a hassle-free way for Nimitz
to raise money through everyday purchases made at eScrip merchants such
as Safeway, Pak'n'Save, PW Market, and Whole Foods. Simply register your
Safeway, Pak 'n' Save, PW Market, or Whole Foods grocery club card.
Each time you grocery shop and use your card, eScrip will send us a
percentage of the money you spend. You can also register a credit
and/or debit card, and purchases made at participating merchants will
benefit Nimitz.
