If you want to see this weekend's eclipse
it is NOT on Saturday night- it is Saturday morning beginning at 4:45-
so set your alarm Friday night.
Sorry for the confusion.

Winter 2011
The abundance of winter sunshine has been keeping us energetic
as we work up to our Winter Break from 12/19/11-1/2/12.
Here is a comprehensive list of what's happening until then:
Monday evening, 12/12, will be our monthly Steering Committee meeting at 6:00.
This meeting will include some important discussions about enrollment changes
for next year, new class configurations and aftercare billing issues.
All committee members are needed at this meeting, and parents interested in being
a part of this conversation are invited to join us.
This discussion will dictate necessary amendments to our charter enrollment practices
that will be voted on in January.
Tuesday, 12/13, we will be having the first part of our lunch program review
as required by the California Dept. of Education.
School representatives from Pacific Union will be joining us for
lunch that day to observe our kitchen and help prepare us for when the State inspectors come. Please welcome them to our school.
Wednesday, 12/14, the K-2 class will be touring the North Coast Coop- ending in the bakery as part of their current unit study- Breads Around the World.
Parent drivers are needed at 9:30. Please sign up in the kitchen.
Thursday, 12/15, will be our annual Multi-cultural Festival from 1:00-3:00.
Students will be preparing bread and traditional foods to share. Look in your parent boxes for teacher notes telling what each student will need to bring for this event.
Families are invited to join us for this celebration.
Friday, 12/16, is a minimum day. School is out at 1:10.
Have a wonderful time with all celebrations your family shares in the holiday season.
Please note that school is back in session on the Tuesday after New Year's- not Monday.
Also worth noting is that the 3-5 grade class is currently studying our solar system, and there has been some excellent related reports in the news. There is the discovery of and Earth-like planet, a new rover going to Mars, and there is also a full lunar eclipse happening this Saturday night. If you want to see this weekend's eclipse you'll have to set your alarm- it begins at 3:30 am on Sunday and will be fully eclipsed around 6:00am. This is the only full lunar eclipse visible here until 2014.
Enjoy!
One last thing- November Aftercare bills are going out this week. Look for an attached letter if your bill is over $50.00 outlining whaat must happen when we return to school. Bills must be paid down to $50 or less, or, if you have an exceptionally high balance, a 50% payment must be made to continue using the program in January. Please talk to Marianne or Michaela if you need a more personalized arrangement. We will try top work with you as best we can. If you have an existing payment agreement- please be sure you are current on your payments. Thanks.
