DOVER SCHOOL NEWSLETTER

Friday, September 18, 2009

 

BREAKFAST/LUNCH MENU AND ENVELOPE ATTACHED

   This menu is for the weeks Sept. 28^th and Oct. 5^th.  The envelope, with payment, is due back to school by Wednesday, September 23^rd.  

   We are not receiving some of our meal envelopes back to school on time.  These envelopes determine how many breakfasts/lunches are prepared for the students.  If we have students go to breakfast and lunch that have not signed up, we run short.  The “count” goes to the kitchen each morning indicating how many breakfasts and how many lunches to prepare.  To avoid waste, we do not make extra meals.  If your child’s envelope is not back in time, they are taking someone’s lunch/breakfast that did sign up. Please send your envelope back by the due date listed in this newsletter and on the menu itself.

LABEL YOUR CHILDREN’S CLOTHING

   Please place your child’s name or initials on the inside labels of their jackets, sweatshirts, boots, etc. so when these items “wander off”, we may get them back to their rightful owner. 

 

PARENT/STUDENT HANDBOOK ATTACHED

   Attached to this newsletter is the Parent/Student handbook for 2009 – 2010.  Keep this in a handy place so you may have it for further reference.

   For our new families to Dover – if school is cancelled at any time, you will receive an automated phone message informing you.  The message will be Mr. Anton’s voice – but it will be a recorded message.  If you have an answering machine with a lengthy greeting, your call could be interrupted or you may not receive it.  For your convenience, the radio stations listing school closings are listed on page 1 of the handbook.  Notices are called in to the stations as early as possible.
