PTA Fundraiser Info

PTA's Mania fundraiser is underway! Every student should have came home with 2 tickets to either sell or buy. Participation is optional, but if every student sells 2 tickets, the PTA will surpass their fundraising goal and will be able to continue to do all of the fun activities for the students throughout the year! 

This fundraiser is very unique as your $20, not only gets you song downloads (at the top of every ticket), but you could potentially win up to $400 per week for the 10-week duration. Last year, we had winners that were close to $4,000! Winner earn prizes for top points and for the lowest points. Odds of winning something over the 10 weeks is 1 in 17!

Everyone can also buy tickets online. Make sure they enter in student's name to get credit.

TICKET STUBS AND MONEY ARE DUE BACK BY OCTOBER 25TH BECAUSE THAT IS THE FIRST GAME!

-Also, for every two tickets sold and turned in, the seller will be entered into a drawing for an Apple iPad mini, (16GB, Wifi, White/Silver).

BOX TOPS COMPETITION!

Box Top Competition has begun! Each class teacher was given Box Top Collection Sheets to pass out to the students last week.

The competition will be per grade. For every 3 sheets brought in the grade level will be given a leaf on the bulletin board. The tree (grade) with the most leaves by winter break will receive a special prize! For every sheet turned in with student's name, that student will be entered into a monthly drawing (drawn at the PTA Meetings) for a gift card.

Happy Collecting!

If you have any questions please contact Kelly Toth (competition) or Julia Henderson (submission/collection)

Student Safety Concerns!

 

Our procedures for arrival and dismissal are in place to ensure the safety of our students. All parents must adhere to the following procedures: 

• Students must get in and out of their vehicle at the solid yellow line in the back parking lot
• Students must get in and out of the car on the passenger side only
• DO NOT pass cars that are unloading students
• Students cannot be dropped of prior to 8:15 if they are arriving for breakfast. 
• If you arrive prior to 8:25, and your child is not eating breakfast, you must wait with your children until the bell rings.
• Parents who bring students into the front of the building must park their car in the front lot and walk students to the door.

We ask that all parents set a good example for our Ledgeview students by following our procedures. Children learn from the examples adults set for them.

Lunchbox Help Please!

 

In an effort to reduce confusion in the lunchroom we would appreciate it if families could write their child's first and last name on the outside of their child's lunch box. This would help us quickly pair students with their lunchbox during lunchtime and help lost lunch boxes find their way to their rightful owner.  

 

Arrival and Dismissal Reminders

 

All transportation changes must be communicated directly to the front office, not to classroom teachers. We must receive notification of a transportation change in the office no later than 2pm.  Parents who do not inform the office of a change to Car Pool pick up prior to 2pm will need to park in the front parking lot and come into the office to pick up their child.

 

ONLY preschool car riders can be dropped off and picked up in the front school. Preschool teachers will meet vehicles at the center island in the front parking lot during arrival. In the afternoon students will be walked to the front parking lot island and can be picked up from the lot side lane.

 

All passenger vehicles must stay out of the bus lanes at the front of the school from 8:00 to 9:00am and again from 3:00 to 4:30pm.
