February-March 2010 Newsletter

PAR (Parents at Roosevelt)
The purpose of our evening PAR Parent Education Series is to meet the needs of the RMS community with information and educational topics relevant to parents of pre-teens and teens. 

If you have suggestions of topics or speakers for future meetings, we’d welcome your input.  In addition, we would appreciate your input as to whether or not you would prefer to have the PAR business meetings, currently held in the mornings, to be scheduled in the evening, in conjunction with the parent education meetings.

Items for sale!
Our Student Directories are here. You may purchase one in the office for $2. Also, we have quite a few extra planners this year. So, if you need one for yourself, please stop by the office and pick one up. They are only $10.

Volunteer Opportunities
There are many of these:

Before and After School Homework Club –We are in need of volunteers to assist students with homework before and after school.  This is a great program and could really use the assistance.  Please contact Nancy Collie at collie_n@4j.lane.edu or Mary Peterson at Peterson_ma@4j.lane.edu if you are interested or have questions.

Volunteers During Lunches –If you are available to help with student supervision during 1st or 2nd lunch, your time would be very much appreciated.  If you are able to help even one day a week or every other week, it would be appreciated.  Please contact Nancy Collie at 790-8500 or collie_n@4j.lane.edu
