Summer break is here with swimming, riding bikes, camps, sunshine, relaxing and fun! I hope your summer is off to a great beginning! My belief is the more informed we are as Central School parents, the better!

I had the opportunity to attend the June 17, 2008 D96 Board of Education meeting and thought I would share some agenda items.

  • The District 96 Offices will move their offices this summer to Mater Christi in North Riverside to help clear some space for additional classrooms at Hauser.
  • Increasing proof of residency checks being considered.
  • A temporary class size change for the D96 08/09 Kindergarten class to 23 students has been approved by the BOE to accommodate the large incoming class.

If you want to continue to be informed, I’d encourage you to attend the next 96 Board of Education Meeting scheduled for Tuesday, August 19, 2008, 7:30pm, Hauser Learning Resource Center.

If you have any questions that you think I may be able to answer, please feel free to email me at marrymelon@sbcglobal.net.

Enjoy your summer!
Mary Ellen Meindl, Central PTA/PTO 08/09 President

The Central School Library needs your help from Tuesday, May 20th - June 5.  No prior work experience necessary, bring a friend, relative, grandparent - all are welcome!!  Stop in for 15 minutes, 1/2 hour or whatever fits in your schedule, any and all help is appreciated.  Following is a description of the volunteer opportunities:

  • Shelving books:  All books are due by Friday May 23.  Approximately 750 - 1050 books will be coming into the library this week (~350 students x 2-3 books each).  Wow, you can see why your help is needed to shelve books.  Plus, parents and teachers will also be returning books (this is also a reminder to please return all books)
  • Shelf Reading: Once the books are “shelved”, every shelf in the library is “read” to ensure that the books are in the right place on each shelf.  This makes it easier for students to find the books for which they are searching
  • A sign in sheet will be available at the library desk for you to indicate the work you have completed

With your help, the library will be in tip-top shape for the next school year.

Thank you in advance for your help.  Questions or comments? Contact Jeannine Glavas @ jmcowell92@aol.com
