PTA- REFLECTIONS NATIONAL ART CONTEST
Reflections is an optional national elementary art contest sponsored by Central Avenue PTA. The chosen theme for this year’s competition is “Look Within”. We invite students of all experience levels to participate! Applications to participate were sent home the week of Oct 21st. Students need to return completed applications to the office or their teacher.
All completed entry forms and finished projects are due to the school office by Monday, December 2nd. Entries will be reviewed by grade level and judged. All entries will be recognized at a Reflections Awards Gala on Thursday, December 5th at 6pm. Selected entries will move on to the council (district) level. From there, entries are further judged and can move on to state and national levels.
For questions about Reflections, please contact Jasmin Dobbelaere
by email at jdobbelaere@fpschools.org or call/text 206-473-0390

End of Day Student Transportation Changes
Just a reminder to please call the school before 3:30 pm and on early release days please call before 1:30 pm when your child's end of day schedule needs to be changed.
This allows us time to notify your child's teacher and your child of the change for a smooth end of day transition.
Please call our office at 253-298-3200 to report end of day changes.
Attendance Matters
You have always known that good attendance contributes to successful students, but this year we have some very important new procedures, which need to be followed:
1. Good attendance is to miss 9 or fewer days per year (average one per month).
2. After 7 absences, we will require third party documentations (doctor notes, dentist
appt, court hearing, etc.) to excuse the absence. Please get in the habit of getting a
note for any appointments, even before you hit that threshold.
3. We will contact you for a conference if your child has 3 unexcused absences, or 5
absences in a month (excused or unexcused.)
4. Chronic absenteeism is more than 18 days in a school year.
I want to encourage all our Wildcats to be at school ON TIME, EVERY DAY, ALL DAY!
**Please contact the attendance line at 253-298-3200, if your student is going to be late or absent from school.
