Tomorrow is the time of the year to spruce up our campus for our Open House which is the following week (Fri., Feb. 6th & 20th).     

This is a great opportunity to get to meet and work along the side of many of our chu
rch and school parents, teachers, and staff.

So lets all come together and work as a team and get the job done!

The more that show up and help, the sooner we all get to go home and be with our families. 
 
MANY OF YOU PARENTS DO NOT HAVE HAVE YOUR PPP (Parent Participation Program) hours, so this is a great opportunity to earn your hours in helping clean up our school and church campus, help our teachers in their classrooms, help put up our new flatscreen TV's and more.
 
Donuts and Coffee will be served in the morning. 
 
DID YOU GET THE MAIL?


Do you know of a CLS family who is not receiving our weekly (Friday) News & Event 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 only, therefore it is very important for you the parent to check your e-mails from Calvary and read what is going on at Calvary.  Please note - If you choose to unsubscribe from one of our e-mails, you then unsubscribe to all of our e-mail communication.  
 
Again, contact the school secretary by phone at (510) 278-2598, or by e-mail at schoolsecretary@calvaryslz.org

CAUTION: 
     The Cold and Flu Season are here  Sick Child
 
      Lets all do our part to keep CLS germ-free                
 
 
If you feel your child is sick or might be sick, we ask you to please keep them at home. 

We have many mom's who are expectecting babies, and many new born siblings who come to CLS and we do not want them to get sick.  Please do your part in making the right decision if you should keep your child home or send them to school. 

If your child's temperature is 99.6 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 (Tylenol, Motrin, or Ibuprofen) 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.

Do not forget to let your school secretary know that your child will not be in school and if you would like to pick up any homework after school.

Thank You.       

 
Outbreak of Measles in California  

A measles outbreak largely linked to Disneyland has now infected at least 68 people across the state.

"CDPH is urging caution to individuals who are not vaccinated, especially infants under 12 months."

Measles, a highly contagious viral disease wide-spread in many parts of the world, begins with a fever that lasts for a couple of days, followed by a cough, runy nose, conjunctivitis (pink eye) and a rash, according to the Centesr for Disease Control and Prevention.

The rash typically appears first on the face, along the hairline and behind the ears and then affects the rest of the body. Infected people are usually contagious from about four days before their rash starts to four days afterwards.

Public health officials around the state, but particularly  in Southern California, where the outbreak is the worst, have been asking parents to have their children immunized.  The disease is highly transmissible by air-droplets from an infected person's cough can remain suspended in the air for up to two hours, the CDC notes, and the virus can live for just as long on services.

If you have any questions regarding measles, we encourage you to contact your local physician.

School Beautification/Clean-Up (Sat., Jan. 31) & Open House (Feb. 6), 2015



Tomorrow
All Hands On Deck!
 
School Beautification Day
this Saturday,
January 31, 2015
Dear Family and Friends,

In preparation for our upcoming Open House, we will be having a clean-up party tomorrow Saturday, January 31, 2015, starting at 9:00 a.m., until work is complete. We hope you will be able to come and join us while we all help and spruce up our school, church grounds and classrooms. If everyone shows up and does their part, then we can all go home about 12 noon.  So please come!

We couldn't help but notice that many of you are missing PPP (Parent Participation Program) hours, so this would be a great opportunity to plug those hours away and help! 

If you have any additional rags or sponges at home, please do not forget to bring them with you! 

Coffee and Donuts will be served in the morning.

We will need people to help wipe desks and seats in all classrooms, clean and polish white boards, wash windows (inside and out), replace any burnt out lights in all classrooms and wash covers, wash tables in the court yard, sweep walkways and much more. We will also need people to help put up flatscreen TV's up on the walls.

  

EVERYONE IS INVITED

OPEN HOUSE


  Open House
Friday, February 6, 2015
6:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.

Plan to join all CLS family and friends and celebrate our student scholars... that's YOUR child and their many achievements.

Bring a friend who might be interested in Calvary and we'll give them the tour.  Everyone can tour the campus, visit all the classrooms, say hi to the teachers, see your child's classroom, see what they have been studying, and enjoy some refreshments!

Do not forget the family referral discount. If your family or friend's student enrolls and attends Calvary, both of you will receive a tuition discount for the month.

An additional way to earn PPP hours is to donate a fresh batch of cookies or brownies to the school. Please contact the school or church secretary and let them know what you will be bringing at (510) 278-2598.

Important Health Message from Mrs. Luehrs, Principal



VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE 
FROM THE PRINCIPAL 
MRS. LUEHRS
Exposure to Head Lice and/or Nits Notice

 

 

January 29, 2015

 

Dear Parents/Guardians:

 

It was reported that one of the students here at Calvary has head lice and/or nits.  Please check your child's hair every two (2) days for approximately one (1) week.

 

In addition to checking your child's hair for the next week, please follow the following prevention tips:

  •  Teach your child not to share combs, brushes, hair ornaments, hats, caps, scarves
  •  Teach your child to hang coats separately
  •  Cleanse and disinfect headgear (i.e., headsets, helmets, etc.) prior to using
  •  Do regular head lice checks on your child and remove all nits, if found
  •  When in doubt, consult a professional in the field or your physician's office

 In the event head lice are found on your child, treatments are available without a prescription at drug and grocery stores.  Please read and follow the package directions carefully, consulting your  child's healthcare provider if you have any questions about the treatment or how to use it.  If you have any difficulties treating head lice, nit removal on your child, or wish to have further information or handouts, please contact your local health department, or your child's healthcare provider.


 
The cold the flue season is here.  If you feel your child is sick or might be sick, we ask you to please keep them at home.  


We have many mom's who are expecting babies, and many new born siblings who come to CLS and we do not want them to get sick.  Please do your part in making the right decision if you should keep your child home or send them to school. 
 
If your child's temperature is 99.6 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/student must be fever free, WITHOUT any medications (Tylenol, Motrin, or Ibuprofen) in their system for 24 hours before they can return to school.

 

Thank you for your cooperation.

 

Sincerely,

Mrs. Marjorie Luehrs
