Ski Bus Enrollment Information Night 
Hi Parents! We are having a Ski Bus enrollment and information night on November 30, 2016 at 7pm in the Lyceum. The forms are on the PTSA website and can also be found here. You can return your bus forms to the office. Please put bus forms in the yellow folder marked Ski Bus. Forms are due to Stevens and me by Nov 30, 2016. If you have any questions please contact Nicole Camp. 
VOLUNTEERING
Volunteer needed to help in the ICS Office on Mondays  
The ICS office is looking for help on Monday mornings from 7:15am - 9:30am to answer phones and assist students and parents who come to the front desk. To ensure consistency, it would be best to have the same person volunteering each week and the ideal volunteer will have been an ICS parent for a few years so he/she is familiar with ICS and how it runs. Good communication skills and attention to detail are necessary. Office staff would like to have someone ready to start on Monday, November 28. 
If you are interested or want more information, please contact our Volunteer Coordinators, Kathy Thompson and Julie Kotler.
