A Note From The Library

As the school year winds down, please keep your eyes open looking for lost library books.  They may be hiding under the bed, or in the car!  Turn them in to the library as soon as you find them.

Placement Forms for Next Year

They have been mailed out and should be in your mailboxes very soon.  These are very important in helping place your children next year.  Please take the time to fill them out and send them back by May 16th.  This information assists us in planning for next year.

KINDERGARTEN 08/09 - We registered 17 kids for next year.  Thank you to all who took the time to come in and register, it is a big help in planning for next year.  There are still some out there who need to come in and register.  You may do so by calling the office @ 383-2045 and making an appointment with Michelle.  Please remember to bring a birth certificate and immunization records.

ACME ELEMENTARY COMPOSTING NEWS - Acme Elementary School continues to excel with our composting efforts.  In   April we collected almost 4 cubic yards of compostable materials.  That’s twice the size of our garbage dumpster and calculates out to a composting rate of 32%.  Each person’s “average pounds diverted” was over 2.7 pounds for the month.  That’s awesome!

WRITING IMPROVEMENT ACTION PLAN - The Acme staff is working to improve the writing abilities of Acme students.  Follow the link to see the action plan that has been developed to accomplish this goal.

ACME PRINCIPAL ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT - 37-year veteran teacher and principal Ellyn Erickson will retire at the end of this year.  Long-time Mount Baker School District teacher Kent Rogers has been named as her replacement.  Read Mrs. Erickson's open letter to the Mount Baker community.

HOW TO HELP YOUR CHILDREN WITH HOMEWORK - Here are some common-sense guidelines to help students succeed with homework.

PARKING FOR EVENTS AT SCHOOL - The neighbors have asked that we remind everybody that when attending events at school, please make sure that you are parking on school property. Also. Please do not park in front of the bus garage or garbage cans.  This pertains to any time of the day or night.

 PERSONAL PROPERTY REMINDER

Cell Phones, IPods, cassette players, radios, gameboys, sports equipment, trading cards and such are not allowed at school.  These expensive pieces of personal property are often damaged or misplaced.  They may also create distractions in the classrooms.  Some bus drivers allow students to use these items.  They must be secured in backpacks during the school day.

Students may ride their bikes to school.   Bicycles should be locked when parked at school.  The school does not assume responsibility for stolen or damaged bicycles.  We hope to see all bike riders wearing helmets and using safe bicycles rules.  Failure to follow school and safety rules will result in loss of bike riding privileges.  Skateboards and roller blades are not allowed on the school premises. 

CLOTHING GUIDELINE REMINDER

An individual’s grooming, the way he/she dresses, and how he/she behaves does have a bearing on how others react to him/her.  It is recommended that dress and grooming is clean and tidy; however, if a style demonstrates that it is disruptive to the educational process of the child and/or others, or constitutes a threat to safety and health of self or others, it may not be permitted in school.  Students are not to wear any clothing having abusive, obscene, or suggestive language written on it.  Consistent with the district’s support of a drug - alcohol - weapon - free learning environment, we ask that students not wear clothing that promotes those items.  Male or female students in a school building shall not wear hats, caps, scarves or similar headgear.  Shorts must be finger-tip in length (mid-thigh) and tops must not reveal the mid-riff or have thin spaghetti type straps.  Makeup and other grooming products are discouraged.  Clothing that is neat and clean, and in harmony with normal community standards of appropriate dress and good taste, is always acceptable.  Ideally, within these limits the decision regarding attire and grooming shall be left to the good judgment and responsibility of the individual and his/her parents/guardians.
