Community Helpers : Parent Communications
 
Newsletter
April 13,1998
Dear Parents,
We hope the children are excited
to be back at school. We are looking forward to our new unit this
month on Community Helpers. I am especially excited about a study
trip planned on Thursday, April 23rd. On this date the buses
will meet me at the main Apple Valley Fire Station on Headquarters Road,
which is near Hwy.18 and Central Road. The children will be given
a tour of the Fire Station and have a chance to view the equipment up close.
After our visit the bus will bring the children up to school where I will
have special learning activities about fire safety. Attached
to this newsletter is a study trip permission slip which will need to be
signed and returned. I would like all permission slips returned by
the end of this week. This will be a very exciting and educational
experience for the children. I hope that all the children will be
able to participate.
In the next four weeks we will
be setting up all the transition meetings for children leaving our program
next year, All the children exiting the program will still be eligible
for summer school this summer. Children going to Apple Valley District
operated classrooms next year will have transition meetings set up that
will include representatives from the district and usually the principal
or teacher from the new site as well as therapists if needed. There
are many people involved in these meetings that make special arrangements
to come together to discuss the best educational program for your child's
coming year. My message here is is to please try your best to make
your scheduled appointment for this transition meeting. We try to
make all the meetings on one day so the all the people involved only have
to make one visit and therapists only have to cancel one day of service
to their clients. It will be very difficult to reschedule.
Thank You.
Just a little reminder that Friday,
April 24th is an inservice day. Our staff will be renewing
their CPR training that day. We hope all our families had an
enjoyable time off with their children. We are looking forward
to a great week!
