Dear Parents,

February will probably bring us a blast of cold weather!  Continue to listen to KYW 1060 (school closing number 591), or watch channels 3-6-10 for school information on inclement weather days.
Make sure your children know where to go on a day when school might have to close while school is in session.  We ask that your students arrive to school on time.
As always, thank you for your cooperation and interest in our schools.

Reminders:

If your child is displaying symptoms of illness prior to leaving for school in the morning please keep them home.

Please be aware that vacations taken during the school year interrupt the continuity of instruction.

Please remember to bring photo identification when coming to pick-up a student.  Please be sure to notify the school office if there has been any change to your emergency contact list.  We can only release students to those individuals listed.

Remember to follow traffic and parking regulations when dropping off and picking up your children.

Please call the school by 9AM should your child not be attending school.  (see below for numbers)  Messages can be left on voicemail.

If your child is absent and you would like to pick up work please notify the office, this way arrangements can be made with the teacher to have work ready by 3PM to be picked up in the office.

Should you have a child who will be 5 years of age on or before September 30, 2012 they are eligible to be registered for Kindergarten for the 2012-2013 school year.  If you have not contacted the school about registration, please do so.  (Mary Bray School 931-7807/7855)  Also, if you are aware of another child in the neighborhood we'd appreciate it if you'd have the parent contact the school.  Registration is scheduled for Wed., Feb. 22 and Thurs., Feb. 23 in the Mary Bray Media Center.

Mt. Ephraim School District Preschool Inclusion Program will be holding registration on Feb. 22 and 23 at the Mary Bray School in the Media Center.  Classes will include 4 year olds and 3-4 year old preschool disabled students.  Please bring:  (1)Original birth certificate - student must be 4 years old as of September 30.  (2)Immunization record of student.  (3)Copy of legal/custody papers. (4)Two forms of Mt. Ephraim residency. (5)If student is classified or receiving services from any Early Intervention Programs - their IEP or any other necessary paperwork.  Please call Mrs. Clark to schedule an appointment or if you have any questions at 931-7807 ext.208.
