IT’S HERE!! SCHOLASTIC “PAWS FOR BOOKS” BOOK FAIR – MARCH 19-22, 2018
The Scholastic “Paws for Books” Book Fair is at Assumption School this week!! (March 19th through March 22nd)
This is a great opportunity to purchase Scholastic books for your child and yourself. There will be books ranging from pre-school age to adult. Each grade will have time to shop with their class. If you are not shopping with your student, please feel free to send in cash or a check made out to Assumption HSA. If you are sending in a check, PLEASE make sure your student knows how much s/he can spend! Click here for the schedule.
Books can also be purchased during the family shopping time at the end of each fair day from 2:30-3:00 pm and during our new “late night” shopping event – Tuesday March 20th from 2:30pm-5:30pm. Books will also be available online from 3/19-4/7 using this link, http://www.scholastic.com/bf/assumption-nj. Books purchased online will be delivered to the school after 4/7/18.
We need more volunteers! Come take a “Paws” out of your day to help make the book fair run smoothly. Please sign up here, http://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0d4aaca82fa31-2018.

FROM THE FRONT DESK
In an effort to increase school security, please note the following procedures for visiting the school.
- Front desk volunteers have been asked to use the intercom to ask each visitor’s name before buzzing them in.
- Once inside, ALL visitors who plan to pass by the front desk for any reason (meetings, library reading, etc…) will be asked to sign in. You may be asked for identification so please be prepared in that regard.
- We ask that no parents deliver anything to the classrooms, cafeteria, or offices. Please allow the front desk volunteer to do that for you.
- We understand that many parents are accustomed to being at school often for their various volunteer positions, but we ask that you still sign in each time you enter the building. *Exception:
Pre-school parents don’t need to sign in/out when dropping off (8:15 am) or picking up (1 pm).
Thank you for your understanding and your cooperation with our treasured front desk volunteers!
