Thureya Poff After <strong>School</strong> Policy Children are to go home (or to a childcare provider, etc.) immediately following dismissal as there is no supervision provided after school. If you know you will be late, please call the main office 204-4800 and your child can remain in the office for up to 15 minutes beyond dismissal. Children are not to play on school grounds (playground, etc) without parental supervision. Teachers urge parents to call them immediately if a problem develops or persists. Classroom Assignment Procedures The Madison Metropolitan <strong>School</strong> District has approved the following procedures for classroom assignments for the district: 1. Newsletters and handbook will describe the procedures/ process for parent input in teacher (classroom) placement. . 2. Please do not request a specific teacher but rather indicate your student’s traits, learning styles, etc. 3. Program visitation will be permitted on a limited basis. 4. Parents will be notified of their child’s placement at the <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Hise</strong> all-school registration day on August 24th, 2012, 11am-6pm. NOTE: It is the principal’s role to change classroom assignments in extenuating circumstances only. Welcome To The New 2012-13 <strong>School</strong> Year From The <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Hise</strong> <strong>Elementary</strong> Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) Dear <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Hise</strong> <strong>Elementary</strong> Parents, Staff, Students, and Friends: Welcome to another school year at <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Hise</strong> <strong>Elementary</strong>. The PTO often provides financial, physical, and sometimes emotional support to all members of the <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Hise</strong> community. In doing so, we fulfill our mission, which is to enhance the elementary school experience for all students and their families. Our membership is made up of all staff and families of students at <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Hise</strong> <strong>Elementary</strong> and your support is vital to our continued success. The PTO is visible at <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Hise</strong> in many ways. Fundraising activities include a simple direct appeal for donations, REAP Taste of Wisconsin Holiday Fundraiser, Hedgie Gear sales, and no-cost (“FREE”) fundraisers like Box Top$ for Education, the Target RED Card, Amazon <strong>School</strong> Rewards Program, and thecommunitychange.com. PTO sponsored events include: the VHE Carnival, the Talent Show, Science Night, a Winter Dance Party, and the Spring Ice Cream Social. The PTO also provides an annual classroom stipend to support classroom activities and cultural arts programs not covered by the District. We have an exciting year planned with some old favorites and many new ideas. Please do not hesitate to contact a PTO Board member if you would like to get involved. The PTO Board serves to administer the function of the PTO. The Board meets to conduct business at least four times a year on the 2nd Tuesday of the month and General Membership Meetings are held at least three times a year. The general membership is welcome to attend all meetings. General meetings typically have a program offering information on a variety of interesting topics. Business meetings consist of budget review, votes on any financial requests and updates on upcoming events. Please join us at a meeting and get involved. Together we can and will do great things! <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Hise</strong> <strong>Elementary</strong> PTO 13
