LETTER FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Dear Parents:

Welcome to a new school year. We know that all our students are ready and eager to learn with their new teachers and new grade level. Please remember that your support and involvement in your child's education is extremely important to their success!!! Your participation and encouragement will make a vital and positive impact on their academic achievement!!!

With the beginning of the new school year, please remind your child that NO TOYS of any kind -- toy guns, playstations, electronic games, card games, Gameboys, Sony PSP's, Nintendo DS's, music players or any other distractions -- should be brought to school. They are NOT ALLOWED!!!

Also, please discuss with your child that all students at Alexandria are expected to act safely, respectfully and responsibly to each other, to all teachers and to all staff members at all times.

The Parent Center need more students for their ESL classes for parents. The classes meet Monday through Thursday from 2:30 to 4:00 p.m. in the Parent Center (Room 43) and free child care is also available.

Thank you for your support and remember -- WORKING TOGETHER, WE WILL ACCOMPLISH THE MOST FOR OUR CHILDREN!!!
