DID YOU GET THE MAIL?
Do you know of a CLS family who is not receiving our weekly (Friday) News & Events e-mails? If you do, please have them contact the school secretary so that we can either check or enter their e-mail address into our mailing system and make sure they do not miss out on our important mailings.
CLS sends weekly (Friday) notices, as well as any and all updates, changes to the school calendar, emergency notices and other information via e-mail (Constant Contact) only, so it is very important for you the parent to check your e-mails from Calvary and read what is going on at Calvary.
Again, contact the school secretary by e-mail at schoolsecretary@calvaryslz.org or by phone (510) 278-2598.

CALVARY NEEDS YOUR HELP!
CLS Teachers need your help on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Many of you are in need of PPP Hours. What better way to start deducting those hours - by helping us at CLS volunteering to assist in covering recess and lunch breaks on TUESDAY and THURSDAYS!
Morning break is at 9:50 a.m. - 10:15 a.m., and then
Lunch break/recess is at 11:25 a.m. - 1:15 p.m.
Please see the school secretary if you are able to help. Remember, your time helping CLS helps you to deduct those PPP hours. It is also a wonderful time to see your child at lunch and at play with their friends and classmates and for your child to see you helping out at Calvary. |
THE HOLIDAYS ARE RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER
Do not forget to purchase your Scrips Cards!!!
Purchasing your scrips here at Calvary helps Calvary in many ways, besides they make great stocking stuffers!
Scrip Gift Cards - Stop by or call the office for gift cards to local restaurants, retailers, movie theaters, gas stations, ITunes, and much more. Scrip cards are awesome to use for yourself as well as to give as birthday gifts, anniversary, Thanksgiving, Thank-You, and they make awesome Christmas Stocking Stuffers!!
All you have to do is come by the office, you purchase the card for the full value, and the vendor donates a percentage back to Calvary! No waiting in those long lines at the store and no hassels finding parking.

The Cold and Flu Season are here...  If you feel your child is sick or might be sick, we ask you to please keep them at home.
If your child's temperature is 99 degrees or higher, it is considered a low-grade temperature. Please keep your child at home as whatever your child has is now considered contagious.
A child must be fever free, without any medications in their system for 24 hours before they can return to school.
Is your child very tired? Does s/he have a dry cough (as opposed to one that's mucus-y)? Is his/her appetite decreased? Any aches or chills?
If your child shows any of these symptoms, we courage you to contact your local physician and discuss your child's symptoms.
Don't forget to let your school secretary know that your child will not be in and if you would like to pick up any homework after school.
