Weekly Update - August 26, 2012

Hello Merwin Families,

This is Mrs. Hospelhorn making the first weekly call for the 2012-13 school year.  A big welcome goes out to all new Merwin families.  We have a great school year planned.

I would like to start out with some sad news.  Friday we received news that due to small class numbers in second grade, Ms. Tracey Love was transferred to Clough Pike Elementary.  Although we are sad to see Ms. Love  leave  Merwin after 9 years, we are thrilled that she still has a position in West Clermont.  Ms. Love’s smiling face and positive attitude will be missed.  All of Ms. Love’s students have been reassigned to other classrooms.

The transportation meetings were held last week and less than ½ of our families have picked up their bookbag tags.  Remember that you must have tags prior to the first day of school.  If you are planning to pick them up at Open House, remember that it looks like the lines will be long.  The building is open daily from 7:30am-3:30pm except for our lunch break. 

Open House is scheduled for Thursday at 6:00 for grades KG, 1, and 2.  Grades 3, 4, and 5 will be at 7:15.  I remind parents of primary students to leave the lot by 7:00 to allow parking for upper grades.  There will not be a program in the gym due to the heat.  You are welcome to find the classroom and meet the teacher.  Parents are not permitted to park cars the first day to walk students to the classroom.  We have Open House so parents can do  those things with their children.  We do not have ample parking to accommodate that on first day.  I appreciate your cooperation.

At Open House there will be several tables in the breezeway with items of interest from the PTO.  Please make a point to stop by and take advantage of the opportunity to join Merwin PTO and support activities for the year. 

Have a great last week!  School starts Tuesday, September 4th for our students.
