Middle School Update

Volume 7 Number 10

October 9, 2006

CALENDAR:                                                                   

ARTS WEEK:  The week was a great success. Thank you to all of the performers who shared their expertise. This included, from middle school, the symphonic band, orchestra, and dancers. Also thanks to parents and teachers who took the stage to add their talents.  See the photos on the website.

SPONSORED RUN: The Sponsored Run, our annual major fund raiser for middle school community service, was a huge success. As of October 6th the results are 8th grade: S/.12,562,  7th grade S/.20,140,  and 6th grade S/.26,935. That makes a grand total of S/.59,637.

PERMISOS: During conferences week, October 9-13 from 1:00 to 4:00 pm we will have a notary in the Middle School to do Permisos Notariales for the 7th grade Iquitos and 6th grade Cusco trips.  This is necessary for ALL students who are traveling. There is a law on the books allowing children of diplomats and some others to travel without this, we need one for each student because we are NOT taking student passports with us to prove which ones do not need the Permiso.  The Permiso is turned in with the ticket to get the boarding pass. We do not show ID of any kind and the student is not present at the time this is done.  You need to bring the original and a copy of your DNI, CE or passport and a copy of your child's birth certificate. One parent may do this. If you have the Permiso done somewhere else, please send it to school no later than October  13th.

CAMERAS: There will be packages of 3 disposable cameras and a fan available for sale at Parent Teacher Conferences the week of October 9-13 for those who are interested.

SEATBELTS ON THE BUSES:  Seatbelts have been installed in our school buses.  It is REQUIRED that all riders use them from the time they get on the bus until the bus comes to a complete stop at their destination.  The drivers and adults on the buses will report those who do not follow this requirement and we will also be reviewing videos.  Please talk to your child about this important safety issue. Also, remind them that it is law that all passengers in a car use a seatbelt – even those in the back seat.
