Family Messenger, September 6, 2011

Lord, our God,
Help us to be people of prayer,
turning first to God when we
have decisions to make.
May God’s work be done through us.
We ask this through Jesus’ name.
Amen.

A Message from the Principal
As we begin our second week of school, this is a great time to for you to help your child succeed this school year. As your child’s first and most important teacher, you pay an important role in supporting your child’s learning at school. The beginning of a school year is a great time to review rules together. Discuss school and classroom rules, and use this opportunity to talk about home rules too!

I am eager to be involved in your child’s learning this year!

Sincerely,

Ms. Olivia Carrillo

A Message from the Principal
On behalf of the faculty and staff at Incarnation School, welcome to the 2011-2012 academic year! We look forward to working with you and hope that our students and their parents share our enthusiasm as we begin the school year ahead.

A few things have changed around campus. The school lot has been re-striped; the computer lab reconfiguration is complete with a Smart Board, 35 Mac minis, and a new Writing STARZ kindergarten program; the ASP room will double as the music room for grades K-8 so that students can have uninterrupted time for that class; and air conditioning has been installed in all first-floor classrooms! The units are cooling so well that some are saying it’s too cold! The scope of the second floor project is a bit more complex, but it is in process and drawings are with the City of Glendale Plan Check Department for review. It is estimated to be about a week for the city to complete their review and return to the engineers with comments. Once those drawings are approved by the city, they will be forwarded to the Archdiocese Construction Department for approval. Thank you for your continued support of our fundraisers to make all of this possible.

The 2011-2012 Parent/Student Handbook is now available online only at www.incaschool.org . This handbook will provide you with information to assist you in familiarizing yourself with Archdiocesan and school policies. There were quite a few updates over the summer, so please take the time to read through it carefully. All students and their parents should be familiar with the contents of the handbook. The end of the handbook has several forms for you to review and return to school. As part of your enrollment agreement/contract, we require all families to sign and return the Policies Agreement Form no later than Friday, September 9.

Incarnation School and the Archdiocese of Los Angeles are committed to providing a safe environment for our children. With that in mind, we require all of our volunteers to receive VIRTUS training. All parish and school volunteers, teachers, clergy, religious, staff, and paid personnel who work in any capacity with or around children must participate in the VIRTUS program. Incarnation will be offering a VIRTUS class on September 26 from 7 – 9 p.m. and a recertification class on September 29 from 7-8:30 p.m. VIRTUS training is valid for 4 years. In addition to attending a live VIRTUS session, all volunteers are required to sign the Guidelines for Interacting with Youth and Minors form located in the back of the Parent/Student Handbook. Additional copies can be obtained from the school office.

Parents working in any supervisory position (yard duty, field trip chaperones, drivers, etc.) must receive fingerprinting clearance prior to assuming this type of role. Please visit the school office for more information about LiveScan fingerprinting.

Question of the Week
Jesus tells us that we are each called to follow him. What is hard for you to do to follow Jesus?

Sincerely,

Ms. Olivia Carrillo
Principal

A Message from the Principal

By the end of the school year, everyone is ready for summer vacation, children, teachers and parent alike! A change of routine is welcome and there are ways to continue to support learning while away from the formal classroom.



In addition to summer school, summer vacations, and summer camps, consider these ideas:

• Reading - read daily. Read a book with your child or have your child read to a younger child.
  
• Gardening - allowing your child to plant his/her own garden or help you with the family garden provides a perfect opportunity to apply the science curriculum to everyday experiences.
  
• Summer jobs - both at home, and for older children, in the neighborhood present valuable opportunities for children to learn responsibility and the value of saving money.
  
• Grandparents - If your child has grandparents in the area, have your child plan a day of fun with a special grandparent or other special person.
  

If you are looking for summer program information, please stop by the school office for information on local programs offered.



The following announcements about the 2011-2012 school year were made in at the recent PTO meeting:

• First Day of School - 8/29/2011
  
• Last Day of School - 6/15/2011
  
• Christmas Vacation - 12/19/2011-1/3/2012
  
• Easter Vacation - 4/6/2012-4/13/2012

Scrip Tip
12 more selling days to purchase scrip to count for the 2010-2011 profit year. Those of you that are close, YOU CAN DO IT!!! Those of you that are not, continue to purchase, it continues to help the school. Those of you that have surpassed the $200, you will split the additional profits with the school 50/50. As you all know, scrip funds were able to purchase the AMAZING Smart Boards in all the classrooms. To further enhance this technology, we'd like to purchase tablets that work in conjunction with the Smart Boards and would ask those of you who go over the $200 to donate their 50% towards this goal. Of course, you can use these funds for fees, but if you plan on leaving it with the school as a donation, the tablets are a great way to further make an impact on your child's education.

Gina Marie Fenton Memorial Scholarship
The applications were distributed to the 8th Grade class on Friday, May 13. The applications are due to Ms. Carrillo by Friday, May 20. The scholarship is open to all 8th Graders attending a Catholic High School in Fall 2011. A flyer is enclosed with more details.
