Congratulations!!!

Friday is the last day of the 2008-2009 school year.  Congratulations to the students and the staff for a successful school year.  Summer vacation is finally here and hopefully everyone enjoys a safe and happy one. But, don’t forget to continue to read with your child, practice math facts, explore the area and enjoy your child.  For activities in the area you can call Daly City Parks and Recreation (650) 991-8001 and register your child. Remeber also that we have Recommended Reading lists in the office

5^th Grade Clap Out

Friday, at 10:30 we will cheer our 5^th graders off to sixth grade.  If you are planning to attend the Clap Out you may take your child home immediately following.  If you have other children at the school and you wish to take them too please send a note to your child’s teacher. 

Budget Concerns

Due to the uncertainty of the budget, we need to let you know that we may have split grade classrooms next school year.  We have been successful with these types of classes and will carefully plan for them (if needed).

Lost and Found

Please check the lost and found in the MUR for any missing items belonging to your child(ren).  Any items of clothing left after the last day of school will be donated to charity.

WE Appreciate YOU

The JFK staff would like to thank the wonderful JFK families who have supported our school all year.  Thanks for your fundraising, donations, help in the classrooms and on field trips.  Thank you for helping your child with their homework, reading the Wednesday Words and returning the signed envelope each week.  Your efforts make our jobs easier.  The children have thoroughly enjoyed the end of the year activities, many of which would not have been possible without the support of our wonderful families.

School starts on August 26 – Minimum Day

School will start again on August 26.  It is a minimum day.  We are putting a wish list on the back of this newsletter so that if you with you can take advantage of the summer sales.  Remember, you are not required to provide supplies, but during this time of budget cuts we certainly appreciate anything that you can supply. If your child is in Kindergarten or 1^st grade and you have not already turned in his/her medical and dental forms, please do it before the 1^st day of school.  The office will re-open on Monday, 17.  If you have friends or neighbors in our boundary area who are not registered for school please remind them to enroll their children.
