Dear Parents:
Open House was
great this
year! I appreciate you coming and
meeting your child’s teacher and familiarizing yourself with all the
school
happenings. It is so important for your
child to know you care about his/her education.
I also want to thank you for attending the Grade Level meetings
we had
for your child. Each grade level met and
explained what you could expect for the new school year.
I was thrilled by the good attendance. I
hope you have a better understanding of
what to expect for this year. It is so
important for good communication to exist between home and school in
order to
make your child successful.
Please support our
PTA. This organization is YOU and the
TEACHERS
working together to provide things for the students.
Since fund-raising is now so very limited,
the school depends on help from other sources.
PTA is Mosheim School. Membership
is only $1.00 per person. Please support its mission and volunteer to
help.
Food City is
continuing its
program for schools. However, they will
not be using receipts. They will provide
a Value Card. For the school to receive
credit for your grocery shopping, you must go on their website to
activate the
card. It is really simple to do. After you activate the card for Mosheim
School, all you have to do is present the card every time you shop at
Food
City. Food City has always been a great
source of help for us. Please remember
to present your card, after you activate it online for Mosheim School,
every
time you shop at Food City. We
appreciate your support of your
school!!!
If you filled out
papers for
your child to have dental work done at the Greene County Health
Department,
please make sure you send in the Transportation form to Mrs. Lucy. We cannot let your child go on the bus until
we have permission. This is a wonderful
service that the Health Department provides for our students, and we
are very
appreciative.
Please check out
our school
website- www.greenek12.org/mosheim. Benna Bennett is our Webmaster.
Visiting our website will keep you abreast of
activities going on at Mosheim. There
are also some wonderful academic links that you and your child can
discover
together. The Greene County Schools
website is www.greenek12.org . This website also gives information for the
schools and also provides academic links.
Remember our Tardy/Attendance policy that is
in place for grades 6-8. This policy has
been adopted by the Greene County Board of Education.
Grades K-5 will adhere to the same tardy
guidelines. After 5 tardies, your child
will serve an afterschool detention. If
they do not stay when scheduled, they must be placed in inschool
suspension or
the equivalent thereof. “Tardy” means
coming to school late or leaving early.
The Tardy bell rings at 7:55.
That means all students have to be in their seats at 7:55, not
just physically
in the building. I appreciate all of you
getting your children to school by 7:50. Keep
up the good work!
The Parent Advisory
Committee
for the 2008-2009 school year is as follows:

fifth grade parent that was asked to serve.
If he cannot serve, I will recruit another fifth grade volunteer. You may contact these parent representatives
on any issue that you would like to come before the Mosheim Parent
Advisory
Committee.
I have already
received
several cell phones that belong to students.
I want to remind you of Greene County School Board procedures- 1st
time taken up- kept a week; 2nd time taken up- kept a month;
and 3rd
time taken up-not returned. Please
discuss this policy with your child.
Volleyball,
Football, and
Cross-Country season is here. Come and
enjoy seeing Mosheim athletic teams play.
Our band will be performing at some of the football games.
Remember to put
your school
calendar on your refrigerator in order for you to keep up with all the
happenings at Mosheim School. There is
something going on all the time, and you wouldn’t want to miss anything
that
was important to your child. Due to not having a school-wide
fund-raising this
year, we will still not be mailing the newsletter/calendar home unless
funding
becomes available. We will always have
one on hand at both offices if you are at school and wish to pick one
up.
I hope everyone has
a
wonderful and safe Labor Day Weekend, and I wish everyone a peaceful
September.
Sincerely,
Yhona
A. Jones
