PTA BRICK PROJECT - ORDER BY MAY 1ST!
John B. Dey families,
It's near closing time for your chance to leave a small legacy at John B. Dey!
The PTA and administrative staff encourage you to purchase a brick (or more!) that can be engraved with your choice of wording...your family name / your child's name / your business / inspiration / in honorarium...whatever you choose.
These bricks will be laid on JBD's property starting with the new entrance to the school. You will have until May 1st to send in your request and payment in to the school (exact cash or check only), so don't delay!
Find the form below to print and send in to the school with your child in an envelope indicating "BRICK PROJECT".
*** PLEASE SEND YOUR ORDER IN TO THE SCHOOL WITH YOUR CHILD, NO NEED TO MAIL IT IN TO JBD***

CLINIC CORNER
If your child has medication in the clinic it needs to be picked up before dismissal on the last day of school, June 15th. Any medication left in the clinic will be thrown away on the 15th. The clinic is packing up for the summer because of construction and nothing can be left.
Last reminder for 5th graders: Tdap is a required immunization to start 6th grade. If your child has received this immunization and you haven’t already given a copy to the clinic, please get this into me. I have access to 5th grade student’s records up until June 15. If this gets done over the summer take the immunization records to the middle school. Your child will not get their middle school schedule without proof of Tdap.
Thanks,
