PARENT CORNER

IN APPRECIATION

Thank you for your loving prayers this past week.  I had post concussive syndrome following a bump to my head on September 4 and was absent  September 5 recovering.  A CT scan showed no fracture to the skull or brain bleed.  I was released to return to work on Monday, September 8.

Unrelated to the head injury, Saturday, September 6 I became ill with a sinus infection and fever,  leading to bronchitis and respiratory issues. The antibiotics and  doctor-ordered rest have helped move recovery along.  I am happy to be back with you again in time for parent conferences.  We are grateful to Mrs. Hinton and Mrs. Bell for their presence and guidance in the classroom last week.

PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES
This week Fresno Christian Schools will conduct elementary parent conferences.   Monday through Friday  will be minimum release days at 12:00 noon.
  I look forward to meeting each of you at individual conferences.   It is important for you to arrive on time.  Your help is greatly appreciated.  At conference time we can focus on strengths and areas for future growth together.  Thanks for your insights.  I am looking forward to meeting with each of you!
KIDS’ CLUBS
It’s time to sign-up for the Fall Kids’ Clubs. Kids’ Clubs are fun and free activities led by parent volunteers during the second half of the lunch recess. Sign-up forms will be sent home on Monday and need to be completed and returned by Friday, September 19th. Students should get their forms in on time because the club’s fill up fast!
