Happy September
Happy September everyone!!!
Here is my official first newsletter of
the 2015-2016, school year. I hope this newsletter finds everyone well. Getting
the best teachers hired is always a priority—every year!!!! I was fortunate to hire a 5th
kindergarten teacher the first week of school, Mrs. Mendel. We now have five
sections of kindergarten. I am still in the process of hiring classroom
paraprofessionals and have been working on this for these first few weeks.
Hopefully, we will be fully staffed by the end of this week.
There are so many exciting things
happening at DeMiguel School!!! First of all, for those who haven’t entered our
front office—there is a “doorbell” that you need to push in order to have
admission into our school. This is a quick way to be able to communicate with
everyone-- and this is a great safety feature! Speaking of safety features; if
you pick up your child afterschool you are asked to hang a DeMiguel car tag
from your front mirror! This helps us identify cars that are “supposed” to be
in our pick-up lane. This is not fool-proof, however, it is another safety step
we have taken.
We have a many new PTO board members this
year! Please attend our next PTO meeting so you can meet the new members and
listen to what is going on!!!
On September 8th, the FUN RUN
kicks off!! Your child(ren) will receive their pledge packets on the 8th.
Hopefully you received my newsletter about the FUN RUN. We are looking forward
to another successful fund raiser.
I
have sent home the Parent Bill of Rights—which is on our FUSD/DeMiguel
homepage. On the webpage is our FUSD Elementary Handbook as well. Inside the
handbooks there is a lot of information about our FUSD schools and your rights as parents/guardians. Please read the handbook—as important FERPA
information is in there. If you would like a hard copy, please email me.
We are already getting many lost and found items!
There are many sweaters/jackets, and lunch boxes. We end up giving so many
items away to charity. It really helps if you can put your child’s name in
clothing items and/or lunch boxes.
Wishing everyone a fantastic fall! If you have
questions, comments, concerns, or positives—email me at nwilson@fusd1.org
Respectfully,
Ninon

During the Apex Fun Run, students are challenged to get pledges for the laps they will run on Thursday, September 17th, to help their school. Students will run for 30 minutes and average 26-36 laps, with the maximum amount of laps being 36 (each lap is 1/16th of a mile). Sponsors can pledge $1, $2, $5 or any other amount for each lap students run. All participants will receive an access code that allows you to enter pledges online. Funds raised this year will be going to the school to pay for technology and/or electronic marquee and/or rubber entry mats, based upon what we raise.
The Apex Fun Run is for every student regardless of financial giving. All students will receive Apex bands, race-day lap counters, and team awards. We invite all parents to come to the Apex Fun Run and share in this great event! The times for the Apex Fun Run will be sent home soon!

You can help our school be successful in the following four ways:
• Help connect your child to potential sponsors (family/friends) to acquire pledges.
• Ask your child about the “Dream Team” character lessons, and download the “Apex Fun Run” App!
• Come to the Apex Fun Run and don’t forget to invite others to attend our fun-filled community event on our field.
• Help volunteer for the race! We need a few parents to help cheer on students and mark laps. If you would like to volunteer for your student’s race, please contact Amber or Heidi at demiguelpto@hotmail.com.
