Principal's Column - March 10, 2010

Dear Parents and Guardians:

I would like to personally extend an invitation to you to attend our annual Open House celebration scheduled for tomorrow, Thursday evening, March 11, from 5:30-7:00pm. Open House provides an opportunity for our students and staff to highlight the activities, projects, and learning environments that make up the outstanding academic program here at Carl Sundahl. We are very proud of our students, staff, and school. Parents, friends, family members, and the community are invited to join us in celebrating the accomplishments and quality work of our students. It is a great opportunity for parents and guardians to visit this year’s classroom and to preview classrooms and grade level curriculum for the coming year. There will not be a general meeting of parents in the multipurpose room this year. All classrooms and Computer Lab will be open from 5:30-7:00pm. The Sundahl PTA will again host a dessert social selling a variety of donated sweets in the multi from 6 to 7pm. I am looking forward to visiting with you while touring classrooms on the evening of March 11th. Please make every effort to join us! March 11 will be a minimum day (8:25-1:31) for all 1st-5th grade students. ALL KINDERGARTENERS WILL BE ON ALL EARLY SCHEDULE (8:25-12:06). Thank you for noting this change from our previous Dateline.

Our 2nd -5th grade students will be participating in the California Testing and Reporting Program (STAR- CSTs) from April 7-23rd . Please check your calendars to insure that your students are here at school, all day, during those dates. Rescheduling doctor or dentist appointments insure that your child is in class during these very important testing times. Thank you for marking your calendars now and making any arrangements necessary.

Parents, guardians, and community members are always encouraged to contact the school with any comments, concerns or other information. The school office phone number is 989-9182. And my email address at school is dchays@fcusd.org. Thank you again for your ongoing support of our programs and activities.

                                  You Are Invited To A Folsom Community Information Night
                                              March 23 – Folsom Middle School 6:00-7:30

This is not a district budget meeting. This is a Folsom community meeting to help inform Folsom on how we can make a difference in education funding. Please come hear students, parents and teachers speak, hear the Folsom Bands play and watch video interviews with students. There will also be an Art Show from Folsom Middle on presentation and the Folsom High School ACA DECA winner will be speaking. Information on how to contact legislators and assembly members will be available. This meeting is supported bySupportCAKids.org
 

Sincerely,
Donna Chulos Hays
