PARENT CHAT

"MID-YEAR MINGLE AND UPDATE"

February Date Coming Soon

8:15am - 10:00am

Join us for a "mid-year" state of the school chat. It has been a month since Park Maitland School has transferred ownership to Nobel Learning Communities and we are bursting at the seams to share the good news on this venture! This will be an informal discussion with our school administrators to share exciting things in the works that will enable us to maintain and enhance our unique school program. We look forward to seeing you there .

Don't forget, January 24th and February 14th are early dismissal days for students!

Early Dismissal Day Times

All students will be dismissed after they have had lunch according to the following schedule:

K-4, Grades 1, 3, and 5 -- 11:35 a.m. - 12:00 p.m

Gate opens at 11:35 a.m. -- closes at 12:00 p.m.

K-5, Grades 2, 4, and 6 -- 12:13 p.m. - 12:45 p.m.

Gate opens at 12:13 p.m. -- closes at 12:45 p.m.

If you have a lunch "A" child that needs to go home after lunch "B," please send in a note to that effect. We will have supervision in the gym for those children.

AfterCare Options

You will have the option of picking up your child at the assigned early dismissal time, or they could go to our "Club Eagle AfterCare" program. "Club Eagle" will provide special child care for students who are not actively enrolled for only $15 per child. Simply contact Club Eagle by email at aftercare@parkmaitland.org or by calling 407.647.3038 , ext. #159. Children who attend AfterCare regularly can follow their usual after school protocol.

"Jammies and Joy" Newborn Pajama Drive

Now collecting through the month of January!

Ainsley G, a caring and compassionate Grade 5 student, heard about an urgent need for newborn pajamas while volunteering at the Foundation for Foster Children in Winter Park. Ainsley approached Ms. Moon with her idea for a newborn pajama clothing drive, "Jammies and Joy." The pajamas collected will be donated to foster babies born into drug-dependent families. These little ones need new pajamas to wear from the hospital to the DCF office to their new foster homes.

For those who wish to donate, please bring in brand new pajamas to fit newborns and babies up to 6 month-olds. Collection will occur in January, when students return from Winter Break. Donation bins will be located at the front desk.

Please see the attached flyer for more details.

The money raised will help Park Maitland package 25,000 meals on February 14 ^th through FEEDING CHILDREN EVERYWHERE. The meals will be sent to people in need in Puerto Rico.

Wednesday, January 31st

5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Congo River Golf in Altamonte Springs

Each ticket provides 32 meals for people in need.

TICKETS AVAILABLE NOW. But supplies are limited.

$10.00 per ticket.

As you all know, our beloved computer teacher and Newscast Director, Lara Danhof, is the proud new mommy of her beautiful baby Brooks! Mrs. Danhof has decided to savor the moments at home with this long-awaited "gift" and make baby Brooks her main priority at this time. Ms. Danhof has been an integral part of our school for the past 18 years and will be sorely missed.

We have been so very fortunate to have Ms. Jennifer Lightman as her long-term sub and we are delighted to announce that she will remain in this capacity for the remainder of the school year.

Congratulations to our Zaner-Bloser National Handwriting Contest Winners!

Grade 2: Kenley R.

Grade 3: Ashwin A.

Grade 4: Katie A.

HELP PUERTO RICO

Central Florida communities are seeing an influx of families displaced from Puerto Rico by Hurricane Maria. Many have lost everything - their homes, clothing, and belongings. We are asking for winter weather clothes (new or used) and blankets for families that don't have the resources to purchase new clothes. We will be collecting them after our assembly on Wednesday, January 24 and continue to collect them for a week. Thank you in advance for your help and consideration!
