Letter to the Santa Rosa Charter School Community.

Hi!  My name is Kathy Hayes and I am the new President of the Santa Rosa Education Cooperative Board, which oversees both the Charter School and the Preschool.  I am looking forward to meeting those that I don’t know and working with many of you during the 2012/2013 school year.

Just a reminder that THIS Saturday, August 11, 9AM to 2PM, we are having a work party to beautify our school.  This is a great opportunity to meet new people and get the school ready for your kids.  It also fulfills the requirement of participating in one work party a year. 
We will be needing brooms, saws, chain saw, screw guns, shovels, gloves, gardening equipment, paint brushes and rollers, cleaning supplies, power spray painter, blower, power washer, etc.

Enjoy these photos from a recent Early Learners field trip to the pumpkin patch. Some favorite activities were pretending to drive the tractor and feeding baby goats.

Parent Conference time is here!  Please remember that children should not be left unattended on the playground during conferences. 

Children's Center schedule forms are available on the SREC website and in the Children's Center and Early Learner's classrooms.

Thanks!!
Miss Catherine

New Committee Category Added
We have added a new committee category for people who help out in the Charter School office.  These people help with clerical tasks, organizing donated office supplies, help with the telephone answering and other general office support.  Contact Pamela Van Halsema if you are interested in helping out in this way in either a regular or 'on-call' basis.  pvanhalsema@yahoo.com
