NOVEMBER NEWS 2012
CONGRATULATIONS!
This year our Pre-School teacher, Ms. Laura Miller, has been selected to be honored by the East Side Chamber of Commerce at their Annual Awards and Leadership Night that was held at the end of October. For twenty-seven years, Ms. Miller has worked at several Archdiocese of Chicago Schools on the Southeast side including St. George, Sacred Heart and Annunciata. The encouragement given to the children in their primary years sets the tone for the rest of their school careers.

Conferences will begin at 2:30 p.m. and continue to 7:30 p.m. They are scheduled for 10 minutes each (A bell will ring every 10 minutes as a reminder).

There will be a request form available for you if you need to see other teachers.
There will be a dinner break for the faculty/staff from 4-4:30 p.m. No one will be able to wait in the school. Therefore, do not come early for appointments beginning at 4:30 p.m. Thank you for your understanding.
ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2ND, THERE WILL BE EXTENDED DAY BEFORE SCHOOL, BUT THERE WILL NOT BE EXTENDED DAY AFTER SCHOOL.
SUPER BINGO
Many thanks to the Bingo Team and all who helped with Super Bingo! All of your hard work provided a fun day for everyone. All proceeds from Bingo go directly to the school. A profit of over $5,000 was realized. We look forward to the next Super Bingo in the Spring. Thanks also to all of those who came to play Bingo—without you, super Bingo would not have been such a success.
PANCAKE BREAKFAST/CHRISTMAS BAZAAR & CRAFT FAIR – NOV. 18TH
Join us for a delicious pancake breakfast and great Christmas ideas. Tickets will be sold ahead of time through the school. If you buy your tickets through school, your child(ren) will earn an out of uniform pass (date to be announced later).
MEDICINE
No one on the school staff is allowed to dispense medicine of any kind to the children, even if you send a note. DO NOT SEND PRESCRIPTION OR OVER THE COUNTER MEDICATION TO SCHOOL WITH YOUR CHILDREN. THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE IT.
PHONE MESSAGES FROM SCHOOL
When the school calls your phone and leaves a message, please listen to the message before you instantly call the school back. It will save time.
DRESS FOR WEATHER
We will have recess unless the weather is really inclement so children need to dress appropriately.

Are you looking for something fun to do? Why not go to the Super Dabber Bingo? It’s a relaxing, fun time, several chances to win prizes, great dinner buffet and only $26 per person.

CASH “WIN” FALL RAFFLE
Don’t forget to buy your $100 raffle ticket (or more). Only 500 tickets are being sold; SO DON’T WAIT TIL THE LAST MINUTE! You have a great opportunity to be a winner if you buy tickets. Maybe the $15,000.00 will be your “Win Fall”. THIS RAFFLE COUNTS TOWARDS YOUR $300 FUNDRAISING OBLIGATION. Drawing takes place Saturday, October 27th in the School Hall at 8 p.m. This year the Vendors Bazaar & Italian Dinner sponsored by Annunciata Human Concerns Committee will take place at 6 p.m. immediately following the 5 p.m. Mass on October 27th in conjunction with the raffle. Tickets are on sale through the school and after the Sunday masses.
PARENT/TEACHER CONFERENCES
Please plan ahead for the annual Parent/Teacher Conferences to be held on November 2nd from mid-afternoon to early evening. Dismissal on November 2nd will be at 11:30 a.m. There will not be Extended Day after school on November 2nd. Remember that all students in grades 3-8 are required to attend the conference with their parents/guardians. Information regarding scheduling appointments will be sent home later in October. Sports schedules are not to interfere with the conferences.
FOR THE SAKE OF SAFETY:THE LIFE YOU SAVE COULD BE YOUR OWN CHILD!
Please be mindful of the drop off procedures in the morning. From 7:45 a.m. until 8:00 a.m. no one should stop or slow up to watch your child enter the building on 112th, Avenue G or Avenue H. No one ever is to wait to watch your child enter the building when you are in the drop off area between the two driveways on the parking lot. If you need to drop off your child after 7:30 a.m., please do not park in the traffic drop off lane as described above. A parked car at that time will be in the way of the traffic flow and could cause an accident. Also, do not have the children sit in your cars and wait for the second bell to ring. THE CHILD WILL BE LATE FOR SCHOOL.
In nice weather, it is not too much of a problem; however, when the weather becomes inclement, obstruction to the flow of traffic is magnified and could cause someone to get hurt. It is very frustrating to watch the cars deliberately park in places that they should not. In their hurry to pull away from the curb, there is a good probability of an accident.
Please share this information with anyone you designate to drop off your children.
