August, 2010                                      WELCOME TO THE 2010-2011 SCHOOL YEAR!!!!!!                             

Dates to Remember

School Closed:  Monday, Sept. 6th
   (Labor Day) 

Emergency Closings
In the event of a local emergency such as a hurricane, if St. Johns County schools are closed, CPEEC will also be closed.  Stay tuned to WFOY 1240 AM on your radio, and the Jacksonville TV station WJXT-4 and WTLV-12. 

Parent/Teacher Conferences
We understand that you would like to know how your child is doing, however the teachers are trying to get in a routine, and their attention needs to be fully directed at the children.  We ask that you set up a specific appointment time by calling the office to schedule a conference if you have an issue or concern.
 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Alexander, Isabelle S., Kyle J., Karissa, Luke, Clara, Ronan L., Deirdre,
Ms. Jennifer and Ms. Brenda           

Accident/Incident Reports
In the unfortunate event that an accident occurs, you will be required to sign a form completed by the staff member who attended to your child.  Please be sure to sign and date the form.  Thank you. 

Healthy Snacks
Each month every family is asked to bring a predetermined snack to share with the class on an assigned date.  Please review the snack schedule you will be provided, and note your child’s assigned snack date. 

Healthy Lunches

According to the mandatory guidelines from the Department of Children & Families, your child’s lunch must include at least one appropriate portion from four of the different food groups (i.e., grains, vegetables, fruits, milk, meat & beans).   We check each lunchbox, therefore if your child’s lunch is unbalanced, we will have to supplement.  Your lunch account will be charged accordingly.
 

Lunch Days

All families have the opportunity to purchase lunches throughout the school year.  Each week we offer Hazel Hotdogs on Mondays, Wendy’s on Tuesdays, Chick-Fil-A on Wednesdays, Tropical Smoothie on Thursdays, and Hungry Howie’s on Fridays.  Monday, Tuesday & Friday is $3.00.  Wednesday and Thursday is $3.50.  Please let us know before 9:00 am if you would like to purchase lunch.
 

Warm-upsIf your child brings a lunch that needs to be heated, please label the container with his/her name and leave it in the kitchen.  Please do not take it to the classroom.   

Volunteers
(Each non-VPK and VPK-wrap around family is required to volunteer 10 hours per year.  We welcome VPK families to volunteer.)
Please see your child’s teacher if you are interested in volunteering in your child’s classroom.   The school is currently seeking volunteers in the following areas:
1)        Yard maintenance – plant maintenance and weeding.
2)        Computer – occasional troubleshooting and consultation.
3)      
 Naptime - once a month we need 5 moms to stay during naptime while we have a staff meeting in the office.  

Anyone who volunteers with the children must complete the following:
