MARCH 7-11,2016

Dear Parents,

Report cards are around the corner and we are going to be reviewing all the concepts that we have covered in class. This includes all the letters of the alphabet, sounds, vocabulary, and  math concepts studied in this quarter.

We also had an outstanding time last week learning a lot about Dr. Seuss. This week we are going to continue talking about him and watching some of his stories. 

We have talked to the students that we have started the hot season in Honduras. Please provide your child with a water bottle every day. Have them wear light clothes; they can bring a hat to protect from the sun, put sunscreen on their face and arms.

In Honduras we celebrate Father´s Day on March 19th. We would like to invite all of our DADDIES to have Donuts with your child on Friday March 18^th at 8:00 a.m. We are planning on having something nice prepared for you. We hope you can come and spend some time with your child at school.

Easter is around the corner and we are planning to have our Easter Egg Hunt at Valentina's house

on Thursday, March 17th. We are planning to leave school at 8:00 a.m. and come back at 12:00 m. If you have not sent the money for these two celebrations, please do so as soon as possible.

LICE – We once again have several cases of lice at school. Lice are common in all schools this time of year and there is no reason for shame. Parental cooperation is crucial in effectively eradicating this small epidemic. The school nurse will check students for lice, and a student will be able to come back to school once there are no more lice/nits on the student and has been cleared by our school nurse. Please help us by sending your child back to school once you have gotten treated the problem, and please understand that the measures we take are to ensure the well-being of our students. 

PRESENTATION FOR PARENTS - We cordially invite all DS school parents to attend a presentation that will be given by the Lic. Manuel Morales on the topic “The Four Types of Parents”. This presentation will take place on Thursday, March 10, at 12:00 p.m., in the Conference Room. The school will be providing some refreshments. We hope you will be able to attend!

III QUARTER REPORT CARDS AND CONFERENCES - Report cards will be sent home with your child on Friday, March 18, if there is no need for a conference. An email will be sent home if you need to come to school and meet with your child’s teacher(s). Parent teacher conferences will be held that same Friday, March 18 from 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm. We strongly advise you to come to school and meet with your child's teachers.
