St. John Vianney School August 1, 2010
Dear Parents:
On behalf of the teachers, staff, and myself, I would like to welcome you and your children to the upcoming 2010-2011 school year. This year will be an exciting one with many opportunities for your children to grow both spiritually and educationally.
I have enclosed a school calendar for you to refer to and plan accordingly. Please be advised though of the following important information:
1) The first day of school for students in grades kindergarten through Eighth Grade is Tuesday, September 7, 2010. Before school care will be open for registration at 7:00 A.M. All children in grades kindergarten through eighth should be at school by 8:15 A.M. Instruction for the day will begin at 8:35 A.M. This is a full day of school.
2) Pre-Kindergarten will begin for three year olds on September 7th. Pre-K for four year olds in the all day program will also begin on September 7th. Pre-K 4 year old for part-time students will begin on September 8th. All programs have a starting time of 8:45 A.M.
3) The lunch program will begin on Tuesday, September 7th for all grades PreK4 all day through grade 8.
4) Students in grades First to Eighth are required to wear their uniforms the first day of school. If you are still in need of a uniform, you may visit the website: www.flynnohara.com
5) Meet the Teacher Night will take place on Wednesday, September 29, 2010, at 7 P.M. for parents of children in Pre-K through Eighth Grade. You will have the opportunity to meet your child’s teacher and sign up for a time for a Parent-Teacher conference, which will take place in November. A parent representative from each family is expected to attend.
6) The After School Program will start on September 7th. If you are in need of a registration form, please contact the school office so that, a form may be sent home to you the first day of school.
7) Kindergarten Parents Only: The Orchard Park School District will be presenting a bus safety program for students who will be riding the bus to school in the fall. This will take place on Thursday, August 26th beginning at 9:30 A.M. The teacher will also be on hand to assist in the presentation. You may bring your child’s supplies to school that day to avoid any first day anxiety. This is for children who ride the bus from any school district, not just Orchard Park. Please contact the office by August 21st if you plan on attending.
8) The school office will be open Tuesday-Thursday from 9:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M. for the first three weeks in August. Starting the week of August 24th, the office will be open Monday through Thursday from 9 A.M. to 2 P.M.
In closing, let me just say that the teachers, staff, and myself look forward to working with you so that your children will have every opportunity to reach their fullest potential.
May your families continue to have a wonderful summer vacation!
Yours truly,
Christopher L. Hope Principal
