CCI Family,

As we wrap up a difficult week, I want to extend my deepest condolences for those of you who are hurting. I know many families were impacted, and I want to offer support. Please reach out if we can provide additional support for your child here at school. In addition to your child's classroom teacher, Mrs. Kreilein, our school counselor, is also here to help.

Check out the following highlights in the newsletter this week!

• December 20, we need a few volunteers to help us celebrate. See below.
• Upcoming Dress-up Days
• One School, One Book "Easter Egg"
• YAY! Welcome Hope Johnson to the café!

Have a wonderful weekend!

These students are selected by their teachers for showing up to school each day with exceptional character and worth ethic.

Students who ride a SED school bus are reminded of safety and behavior expectations.

• Students should remain seated while the bus is in motion.
• Students should face forward.
• Students should keep their hands to themselves--no touching others.
• Voice levels should remain normal, with no screaming or yelling.
• No foul language or inappropriate hand gestures.
• No food or drinks, with the exception of water bottles.
• All school rules apply

Riding a school bus is a privilege, not a requirement by SED. Please ensure that your students are adhering to the rules. Students who do not follow these rules will receive school consequences and may be removed from the bus.

When a student is unable to attend school due to illness or other causes, parents/guardians are required to notify your child’s homeroom teacher and school office by 7:50. Please note parent name, student name, homeroom teacher, and reason for absence.

If a student needs to leave school during the day for a health-related appointment, please give your homeroom teacher and the school office advance notice of the appointment and time. This will allow staff to prepare for departure and missed schoolwork. Students shall be picked up at the office (Door 1). If someone other than a parent/guardian or person with permission (with a signed note on file at the office) is picking up the student, special directions to permit the child to leave must be received from the parent/guardian. No student shall be released to someone other than a parent/guardian or another pre-approved person.

Please contact the office at 812-817-0900 Extension 2 or holli.land@sedubois.k12.in.us

Doctors’ notes are required for health-related appointments

For more information or on how to get involved, please contact our PTO President Trisha Boehm at trishaboehm1982@gmail.com. Click HERE for the minutes from the October 24, PTO meeting.

Please consider setting up an Amazon Smile account and linking our Forest Park Parent-Teacher Support Group to your purchases. A small percentage of your total is donated to the F.P.P.T.S.G., and this donation is shared equally with all Southeast Dubois PTO groups. As of today over $3000 has been donated to our PTO groups because of Amazon purchases. Click on your account, select Amazon Smile, and Select the Forest Park Parent-Teacher Support Group.

Instead of selling items to friends and family, we are asking for your help! We are hoping to raise enough money to fund our end-of-year field trips for students. Our goal is $5,000. We have money through the Ranger gear sales and the Trivia Night event. We have also had parents make donations so our total is higher than it was yesterday. If every student donates $19, we will reach our goal! If your family is feeling generous, you could sponsor your child and a family who cannot afford the $19. Thank you in advance!
