Dads and Donuts

Dads and Donuts is a fun morning provided by Manila PTA for students to get to spend a morning with their dads, uncles, grandpas, etc. It is coming up on Friday, October 5th. Students in Track A can come from 7:15-7:55. Students in Track B can come from 8:30-9:10. Bring your dad, uncle, grandpa, etc. and go to the lunchroom where there will be free donuts for everyone! You can purchase milk from the lunchroom for $.30. This is also a great time to visit the Book Fair together! If you are in a time crunch and are worried about getting to work on time, please bring cash to buy your Book Fair items. There will be people in the library walking around taking cash so you don't have to wait in the line. Yay! There will also be prizes from the Book Fair given out every 5 minutes in the lunch room! Hope to see you there!

SEPs

Remember there are SEP's this week. You should have registered for a time slot online, so check what time you have, and go chat with your child's teacher. If you still haven't registered, click the online scheduler below and see what time slots are left.

It's also a great time to check out the Book Fair!  And a big THANK YOU to all who are helping provide the teachers dinner on Tuesday and Thursday nights. It is greatly appreciated!

Book Fair Week

Book Fair Week is October 1-5 at Manila Elementary! Come and take a look at all the great books and other things available! Take advantage of SEP nights and go in and look before or after talking with your child's teacher. Or, join us on Friday for Dads and Donuts and after your donuts, go check out the Book Fair Together! It's a great time to get some new books and benefit our school library as well!

Also, look for the Teacher Donation board on the left side as you enter the Book Fair. Many people like to donate books to their child's classroom, so we ask the teachers to put some suggestions of books they would like to have in their classroom. All you need to do is pick one of the papers in your child's teacher's spot, take it to the cash register and pay for it, and it will be donated to your child's classroom in your child's name.

MINIMAL MONDAY

Just a heads up...  September 24th is our first 

 What is a Minimal Monday? In the past, Alpine School District teachers have participated in several days of Professional Development during the school year. Students were not in class on those days. This year, Professional Development will take place on four Minimal Mondays. On these Mondays, the students' day is shorter and the teachers will stay longer for Professional Development.

The Four Minimal Mondays are 9/24/12, 11/5/12, 2/4/13 and 3/4/13.

Grades 1-6 times
A Track: 8:00-12:30
B Track: 9:15-1:45

Kindergarten Schedule stays the same except for Mrs. Crockett's afternoon class. They will come from 12:33-1:45.
