Enclosed with this letter, as well as on the school website, you will find a general supply list outlining those supplies, which each child should have on the first day of school and every day thereafter. Please note that each child must purchase a Student Planner for $5.00. The planner is designed to provide a means of communication among teachers, students and parents. Parents should check and initial the planner every evening. Parents who are concerned that all homework assignments are not written in the planner should have their child ask the teacher to check and to initial the planner at the end of the period. Also enclosed, please find our student/parent handbook, emergency dismissal approval form, PTA packet, Code of Conduct, Dress Code, and the after-school activities booklet . Reminder: The school doors open at 7:15 a.m. We encourage all parents to join the White Plains Middle School PTA and to attend our meetings. Ms. Lori Hardy, parent of a Highlands student and, Ms. Diane Cassidy, parent of an Eastview student are co-presidents.
I urge parents/guardians to fill out the attached emergency information form and to send it with your child on the first day of school. The Main Office staff will collect the form. This information is critical in order for us to reach you or someone you designate, in the event of an emergency. In addition, if you have recently moved or changed your home telephone or business telephone number, please contact our school office at 422-2223 before the opening of school so that we may update this information. As always, our staff will be able to be reached via e-mail. It is important that one be aware of the limits of e-mail correspondence. It may be used for quick updates on assignments. Personal and confidential information or lengthy issues should always be addressed via a telephone communication or a parent conference. There is a Redesign Middle School committee that has begun meeting this summer. We will keep you informed as we develop specific programs designed to promote achievement for all students at both campuses. Enjoy the remaining days of summer! The staff and I look forward to seeing you at our Open House on Wednesday, October 3rd at 7:00 p.m., and to working with you throughout the coming year. Sincerely, Joseph Cloherty Principal
