Dental Services: We are happy to announce a new
service for our students and families at LNFI. Starting this month,
Children's Dental Services(CDS) will set up a clinic at school
depending on the number of people who sign up. Children's Dental
Services (CDS) is an independent, non-profit agency that has provided
dental services to low-income youth since 1919. CDS goals include: a)
to provide affordable, accessible dental care to low-income children
and pregnant women; b) to provide culturally focused care that meets
the diverse needs of those it serves; c) to provide education,
prevention and direct clinical services; and d) to engage with a
variety of community groups, governmental agencies, private and
non-profit organizations to further the importance of oral health and
availability of dental care for low-income individuals and families.
Although it is targeted for low-income families, mid to high income
families may also qualify! Please watch your child's backpack for more
information about this wonderful too-good to be true service! Food Allergies and Snack: FYI: Please do NOT buy any snacks that contains peanuts or were possibly made on a machine that made a product containing peanuts to help create a safe classroom environment for our students with peanut allergies. Here are some suggestions: veggies with dip, fruits (pre-cut), certain cereals or crackers, etc. Thank you!
Snack Schedule:
(Bring for 26 children)
Each week I will assign some students to bring in a
store-bought snack to share with the whole class. Healthy items are encouraged,
such as crackers, fruit, granola bars, cereal, and carrots. Please try to
have your child bring in the snack on Monday of his/her assigned week. Merci!
Please
remember NOT
to park on Bush Avenue when coming to school as this is reserved only for buses
and people who live in the neighborhood.
Parent
pick-up will be on Clarence Avenue.
Receiving On-line Newsletters:
I have attached a word document that shows the list of student families who wish to receive the weekly newsletter from the classroom website. All families are welcomed to join or be removed throughout the school year.
Communication
Folders:
Please
remember to check your child’s blue communication folder (Chemise de
communication) each day, and have them return it to school the next morning.
Please
place notes to me and lunch money in this folder.
School Store Now Open:
Our school store, “Le Loup”,
named after the school mascot, will once again open its doors on Friday,
November 7. "Le
Loup” was created a few years ago and has been very successful since then. It
is sponsored and run by the Student Council. All profits from the sale benefit
the students.
At the “ Loup”, children have not only the opportunity to
purchase school items such as pencils, erasers, pencil sharpeners, note books,
and the like, but they also learn about money and use their French as every
transaction takes place in French.
If you’d like your child to
purchase something, please send him or her with money on Friday. The best is to
put the money in a purse or envelope labeled with your child’s name. I will have a place where your child can store their money until they go to the store.
Here is this year's schedule of when we will be going to The Loup.
