WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 9-13

Dear Pre-K Parents,

This will be a short week for us. We will be reviewing all the letters that we have studied, and the vocabulary that we have introduced so far.

For the next two weeks we are going to be talking about Honduras. Some of the vocabulary words that we will be talking about are: map, Lempira,river, heroes, mountains, flag.

We would like to remind you that there is a $ 120.00 or Lps. 2500.00 fee to buy all the supplies your child will be using throughout the school year. If you have not sent this fee, please do so as soon as possible.

Please remember to check your child’s folder every single day and send it back to school the next day. We are working on this special routine with the students. Remember that this is the best way for you to communicate with us.

DPTO SURVEY – Please take a minute and fill out this very short survey for the Discovery School Parent-Teacher Organization.  As you are part of the DPTO, the executive team wants your feedback and ideas on events and focus for the year.  Both parents are encouraged to fill out the survey.

MIDTERM REPORTS will be sent  home this Thursday, September 12.

INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATION - We want to thank the parents who have already contacted us and offered goodies for the Typical Breakfast on Thursday, September 12. If you have not done so, please give us a call or send us an email. Your child does not need to bring in a snack for break that day. Your child is encouraged to wear traditional Honduran clothing or blue and white. Parents are welcome to join us at the Independence Day assembly at 11:00am.

HOLIDAY – Please remember that this Thursday is an early dismissal day (11:45). There will be NO SCHOOL on Friday, September 13 and Monday, September 16 as Honduras commemorates its Independence. We hope you all have a great 4-day weekend.

FROM THE FINANCE OFFICE – Parents who are not using an automatic debit system with a credit card to pay tuition are asked to stop by the Finance Office to obtain their payment cards as soon as possible.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPEMENT IN SEPTEMBER – On September 23, Ms. Judi Fenton is returning to Discovery to follow up on her visit and Professional Development sessions with teachers last year. A schedule will be provided once it is finalized with her. There will be no school on Wednesday, September 25, so teachers can participate in an all-day training.
