| And
some items of interest for planning a successful year
Current Addresses: Please
let the office know if you have a change of address. You may leave that information
on our voice mail during the summer. The phone number is 967-6425. If there is
more than one address per family, please indicate where student resides. Emergency
Numbers: It is very important that parents keep the school informed of changes
in addresses and phone numbers, both home and work. Emergency contacts and phone
numbers are especially crucial if a student becomes ill or injured. Please notify
the school office at 967-6425 or 967-6427 when such changes occur. We can accommodate
cell phone numbers and e-mail addresses as well. School
Supplies: School supply lists will be discussed by teachers on the first day
of school. Students will need the following on the first day: Three-ring
notebook Eraser Pencils
Ballpoint pens black or
blue Zippered pencil pouch Notebook
dividers Math notebook
(3-ring) Notebook paper A
great, positive attitude!
Fall Sports: Carmichael fall sports season begins August 27, 2007
for football practice only. During the fall we offer football for boys, volleyball
for girls, and cross-country for both boys and girls. All forms must be turned
in and physicals must be on file in the office before our student-athletes attend
practice on August 27th ; the same is true for volleyball and cross country however
they will have their first meeting after school begins. You only need one physical
for the entire school year, and most parents take care of this during the summer.
This alleviates those "I need a physical before I can play emergencies."
Also, students riding buses must make other arrangements for rides after school
sports meetings; we do not have an activities bus. Your student-athlete will be
given a schedule of games and practices from his or her coach; we are very fortunate
to have such great turn outs for our programs and games. If you have any questions,
please contact Mr. Galliher (our athletic director) at 967-6425 or at david.galliher@rsd.edu. Our
office needs your help
It
is our desire to provide quality serve to you and your student. We are a small
staff for a large middle school (three office secretaries for 850+ students).
Because of the extremely busy and varied activity of a large middle school, we
are asking for your help with the following items: ·
Please remember to call our attendance office, 967-6427, on the mornings that
your child is absent. Please don't send your sick child to school. ·
Teachers have asked that you not request homework until the 2nd day that your
child is absent. Generally a student who is out one day can get caught up on homework
upon his return. ·
If you are planning an absence, your student may pick up a pre-arranged absence
form from the office to inform teachers and obtain homework. · Money
for lunches may be put on account in the cafeteria. Make check payable to "Carmichael
School Food Service" and give it to Mrs. Parker (café supervisor)
in the cafeteria. We are often inundated to deliver messages to students, requests
for calls home for rides or money, deliveries of clothing, etc., and most of these
are related to after-school activities, dances, or holidays. Please make arrangements
with your child regarding these items in advance of the day of the activity. We
have designed a year-long calendar for most, if not all, of these activities to
help you plan. · Our policy regarding delivery of balloons, flowers,
candy, etc., is that a note only will be delivered to the student. The above items
tend to be a disruption to classes and are difficult to handle in the halls and
on the buses, so we kindly request that you send your special student a gift at
home. |
