Counselor News
Parenting well is hard, but not impossible. This semester we are hosting a Strong Parent group at Old Bonhomme. We will share coffee and treats while using a program called The StrongParent Project to facilitate our conversations, learn, and share parenting tips and strategies. Upcoming meetings are on Saturday, February 20, March 5, April 2, and April 16 from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m in the OB Conference Room. You can commit to one or all of the sessions. If needed, child care will be provided. Go to https://docs.google.com/a/ladueschools.net/forms/d/13_cANGkzRW8CWrznOWJzR91Gq5sJhrXxOGvP87tifag/viewform to enroll in the program.
KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION
If you have a child that will be 5 years old before August 1, 2016, please contact Mrs. Dunkle in the school office to set up an appointment for a kindergarten screening, or call (314) 983-KIDS. Spaces are filling up, so please call and book yours today!
LOST AND FOUND
Parents, don’t forget to check the Lost and Found for any missing items. The coats and jackets are quickly accumulating in there! Also, remember to write your child’s name in all outerwear so the character council can easily return items to your child.
In Other News...
"News 4 Schools" KMOV came yesterday to film for a segment on the Peaceful Protests coordinated in response to the racial slurs being yelled at one of our crossing guards. They interviewed several teachers and students for the segment. At this time, they are planning to air it on Tuesday, March 1 during the 5 p.m. newscast. The News 4 Schools segment generally is toward the end of the broadcast -- so maybe closer to 5:20. Of course, this is always barring some other huge breaking news story bumping it.
Safety in the Hallways
Parents, just a friendly reminder that if you are dropping your child off in the morning, please do not walk through the hallways with a stroller. The hallways can get very busy and this not only adds to the congestion, but can become a hazard to other students. Thanks for your cooperation.
