September 2002

Dear Parents,

I hope your children experienced a safe and successful opening to our new school year. I would like to invite you to a back-to-School Night at Hewitt so you can meet your child’s teacher and learn about the programs, procedures, and expectations for your child this year. Parents may report directly to their child’s classroom at the time and date indicated below. This night is meant to provide you with important information concerning the plan of instruction for the 2002-2003 school year.  We look forward to seeing you at this time.

Our PTA Hospitality Committee will provide refreshments in the library from 7:00 to 8:30 on both evenings. Please join us for coffee, cake, and conversation. We’ve scheduled the special area teachers at the same time as the Kindergarten Back-to-School session. Therefore, you will not have a conflict with any grade level teacher’s presentation. Again, please note that special area teachers are available ONLY on the evening of September 10 from 7:00 – 7:30. We look forward to seeing you in the library for that session.

Parents, please remember to keep the line area clear in the morning. This will help facilitate a smooth entrance into the school for the children.

I would also like to remind parents that the cutouts in front of the building are designated exclusively for the buses during arrival and dismissal. We have eight buses bringing children to Hewitt. For that reason, it is imperative that we keep this area clear to other vehicles. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this important matter. Please remember hat the area between the cones on DeMott Avenue is a drop off area only. Aides and student safety patrol will assist all children that are left here by parents driving vehicles. Many parents have told us how helpful this valet drop-off is for them and much safer it is for the children.

Since the safety of our children is our main concern, please remind your child to report to the Main Office immediately if you are late in picking him/her up. We hope everyone had a positive opening day of school. We’re looking forward to another great school year.

Yours Truly,

Joanne Spencer
