DISMISSAL UPDATE

It has recently been brought to our attention that cars are starting to line up for pickup before dismissal at 2:15.  We understand that it is human nature to want to be first in line.  However, we are asking that all families respect the school’s neighbors and not start coming to school and lining up for pickup before 2:15.  The school is receiving complaints from the surrounding neighbors about traffic and blocked driveways.  The dismissal process has been taking between 12 to 14 minutes from start to finish so there is no need to rush to be the first one in line.  Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.

A VERY MERRY “CHRISTMAS STORE” THANK YOU!

The 2018 Christmas Store Committee wishes to thank all the volunteers who assisted in making Assumption’s Christmas Store such a magical day!  Many thanks goes out to all the crafters, gift wrappers, those who donated to the raffle baskets, those who helped shop, the set-up volunteers, the day-of volunteers, the clean-up crew, and to Hospitality for providing breakfast and lunch for all of our volunteers.  We would also like to thank the 8th grade wrapping team, as well as the 7th grade class who shopped with the younger children. We truly appreciate the time and talents of each and every volunteer!

May you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Michelle Carr, Linda Chang and Christine Sidhu

ASSUMPTION POWER TO THE PARENTS

The Assumption HSA is forming a parents’ forum to empower parents to have the tools to best address current concerns with our children and adolescents.  In 2019 we realize how difficult it is to be an effective parent in a world that is full of major risks and bombarded with stress.  These forums are open to any parents and caregivers who would like to problem solve and brainstorm with other concerned parents.
Please join us in the Assumption All Purpose Room for our first Assumption Power to the Parents forum on January 15, 2019 at
8:30 am.
If possible please RSVP to Jean Jabbour at Jeanjabbour@verizon.net.
