ATTENTION ALBERTSONS SHOPPERS!
PTSA is offering you the opportunity to participate in a great philanthropic program that won’t cost you a cent. Albertsons currently has a promotion where you get FREE Rachel Ray Dinnerware by collecting reward stickers (1 sticker for every $10 spent) and then redeeming them in-store. Since most of us are probably stocked up on this stuff, wouldn’t it be nice to collect stickers and then donate the dinnerware to Human Options (an Orange County shelter). Please hold on to your stickers (keep ’em in a baggy) and bring them right into the administration office – there’s a yellow box on the reception table near Jodi’s desk. Please contact Natalie or Melissa Pearl via ausra@cox.net should you have any questions. This promotion goes on through December so we’d love to see how many we can collect by Winter Break! Thank you kindly.
PROCEDURE FOR MEDICATION AT SCHOOL
If your child is in need of any medication while at school, please contact the health office for the required authorizations. Students are not to carry any medication, prescription or over the counter, without the required authorizations. Students who carry medications on campus without prior doctor authorization and parent permission are subject to disciplinary action.
If your child becomes ill while at school and he/she contacts you from class, tell them to ask his/her teacher for a pass to the health office so we can properly care for them and contact you for pick up. Students who become ill while at school need to be released through the health office.
