Dear Parents:
I am so pleased to join the Alexandria school community as Interim Principal. I was the principal of a Local District 4 school for ten years. So, it is good to be back in Local District 4.
I have heard great things about this school community and have seen first hand how students, staff and parents work together. The Assistant Principals and the school staff have been extremely helpful in bringing me up to date on the wonderful things happening at Alexandria. The students are also very helpful and friendly.
I am so fortunate to be a part of the Alexandria Family.
Sincerely,
Cateline Chinery
Also, please always remember that your support and involvement in your child's education are extremely important to their success. Your participation and encouragement does make a vital and positive impact on their academic achievement!!! -- WORKING TOGETHER, WE WILL BE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THE MOST FOR OUR CHILDREN!!!
Kindergarten and Pre-Kindergarten (SRLDP) enrollment packets for the 2008 - 2009 school year are now available in the Main Office. In order to enroll in Kindergarten or SRLDP (School Readiness Language Development Program), you must live within our school's attendance area. We will also need proof of address with every enrollment packet. We will accept a current utility bill with the name of the parent or guardian for proof of residence.
Pursuant to current law, all new kindergarten enrollees must be at least five (5) years old on or before December 2, 2008. To enroll in the SRLDP program, your child must be at least four (4) on or before December 2, 2008. We will need proof of age and we will accept a Birth Certificate, Passport, Baptism Certificate or Hospital Certificate of Birth. If you need to pick up an enrollment packet, please come to the Main Office. If you have any questions, please call the school at (323) 660-1936.
Please help us by making sure that students are wearing their school uniforms. Our Uniform Policy is that students should wear pants, shorts, jumpers or skirts that are dark blue and wear collar shirts or blouses that are white. NO JEANS, NO ÔBAGGYÕ PANTS OR OVERSIZED, INAPPROPRIATE CLOTHES AT ANY TIME. Uniforms will be sold afterschool on a Wednesday once a month. Additional information will be sent home at a later date.
Thank you for helping to make the delivery and pickup of students at the Alexandria and Oakwood gates safe for all students. PLEASE DO NOT DOUBLE PARK OR STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET TO LET CHILDREN OUT, ESPECIALLY WITH CROSS TRAFFIC. We want every child to be safe and to cross the street at the crosswalks, not the middle of the street.
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. These items are NOT allowed at school either before, during or after school!!!
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.
Lost & Found garments are located in the Main Building hallway near the Main Office. Any clothing items not claimed by the
end of the each month will be donated to Goodwill. Please remember to mark all your child's clothing with their name to allow easier
identification. Thank you.
