SEPT 28: Early Release Day - School out at 11:20am
|
Miraloma will have our first Early Release Day this year on Thursday, September 28 (tomorrow!) when the school day will finish at 11:20 am.
When do we have Early Release Days?
They are planned for most months on a Thursday. They are announced in the weekly Dragon Digest and are displayed on our school calendar but here are the 7 dates for your convenience:
Thursday, Sept 28
Thursday, October 19
Thursday, December 14
Thursday, January 25
Thursday, February 22
Thursday, April 19
Thursday, May 17
Even though it's a shortened school day, please plan to bring your kids to school. Teachers pack in a lot of instruction and we still have regular programming and enrichments on our Early Release Days.
Note: Aftercare programs begin at 11:20 on Early Release Days.
Help us make this day a success by planning ahead for early pick-up, if possible. If you are not able to pick up your child early, please contact your teacher (or our main office) as soon as possible.
We know that arranging childcare can be a challenge so we thank you for your support!

RUN
t-shirts are a fabulous keepsake that get worn again and again.
The

Rain or shine, help us as we work to make this event as green and earth friendly as possible by packing in and packing out your own family picnic. More savory items, and fruit, will be sold this year, alongside the fantastic sweet baked treat sale. We are excited to announce that once again, all supplies will be biodegradable! (Specific volunteer info will be available in coming newsletters -- stay tuned!)
