....... CCDS INFORMER
	FROM MRS. ROBERTS With just a few days to go, if you have not yet made your reservations for the Golf Tournament and/or Dinner Auction, please do so today. If you have any questions contact Kathy Justice. Put a group of golfers together or call Kathy to join a group. A partial list of the auction items is posted under the Dolphin button on the home page of the website. Check it out! Some of you might want to put a group together ahead of the event to plan a joint bid on a trip or other packages listed in the program. There are fantastic items this year. I have seen the framed artwork for each class. I’m sure you will be as excited about what the children have created as I was. Parent/ Teacher conferences will be held Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday this week. This is an opportunity for you and the teacher to share insights and information which will enhance your child’s education. It is an important part of the teamwork between parents, teachers and students that you hear me refer to so often.

Mrs. Orr will supervise the children doing their homework in a room separate from the younger children in Day Care. The room will be designated as a Quiet Zone with assistance being offered as needed by Mrs. Orr for those children attending the Homework Club. A quick snack will be provided, and then an hour of homework supervision from 3:15 to 4:15 Monday through Thursday. If your child is in the After School Day Care program, he or she will automatically be enrolled in the program.
