A Unique Opportunity

Are you bored?  Would you like some extra money?  Do you love kids?  If this describes you, we have a position for you!  We have many openings for bus drivers.  You can work mornings only or afternoons only or both.  Choose whatever fits your schedule.  All of our buses are automatic and easy to drive.  If you can drive a car, you can easily drive a bus.  We offer free training and competitive wages.  If you would like more information, please call Mr. Cotta at 876-4035.  We hope to see you in the driver’s seat very soon!

 

Appropriate Clothing

As the days get warmer, we start having questions as to appropriate dress for students.  These items of clothing are inappropriate:  saggy tank top shirts, halter tops, tops with spaghetti straps, tube tops, belly shirts, and excessively short shorts.  If your child wears low cut pants, be sure that an appropriate shirt covers the midriff, especially when sitting.  For safety reasons, students who wear sandals may want to change to sneakers for running at recess and movement class.

 

Picking Up Your Child

When you pick up or drop off your child at school, please be sure to sign your child in or out on the clip board in the front hall.  Before going down to your child’s classroom, please check in with the secretary.  We want to insure your child’s safety in school.

 

Parkman Preschool

The Parkman Preschool is accepting registration for the 2006-07 year.  Space in the program is limited to 20 children.  Applications can be obtained from Louise Ringle, Center Coordinator by visiting the preschool or calling 876-4450 or by letting your child’s teacher know that you would like an application.
