FIRST HOLY COMMUNION
On Saturday, May 11, 2013 our second graders will receive communion for the first time. They have been working very hard in preparation. Please keep them in your prayers at this very special and exciting time. A photographer will be available in the school hall for individual communion photos from 9-10:30 a.m. and after mass until about 1 p.m.

On Friday, May 17, 2013 at the 8 a.m. mass our eighth graders will receive their first ribbon acknowledging the academic progress they have made over the last nine years. Later in the evening they will be honored at a dinner. We pray for them as they begin their journey to higher education and prepare for their future. The second grade Communion class will participate in the May Crowning at the same mass.
UNIFORMS
Beginning May 1st all students may wear their uniform dress or gym shorts on appropriate days.
SAVE THE DATE FOR A WALK-A-THON
The Student Council scheduled this Walk-a-Thon in the interest of Annunciata’s fine arts and P.E. classes. All proceeds will be used to support our art, music, computer and P.E. programs. Reminder: Volunteers must comply with the Child Protection requirements including attending Virtus class, completing an online Criminal Background Check and filling out any other required forms.
THANK YOU FOR CARING-LENTEN MISSION/LITTLE SISTERS OF THE POOR
Thank you for your participation in the Holy Childhood Mission collection during Lent. We will be sending $300 to the Holy Childhood on behalf of our students.
The toiletry collection was a huge success. We have hundreds of items to send to the Little Sisters for the elderly and handicapped seniors in their care.
TUITION AND ALL FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS
The May tuition is due by May 1st. All financial obligations for this school year need to be paid or up-to-date by May 15th. Failure to bring your outstanding debts up to date may change your tuition status, jeopardize records from being forwarded, prevent students from receiving his/her final report card or diploma (including participation in graduation activities and ceremony) and/or prevent us from reserving a place for a student for the next school year. Any payments for this school year made after May 15, 2013 must be in cash or money order—no checks will be accepted.
CONTRACT SIGNING (ALL FAMILIES MUST COME IN TO SIGN CONTRACTS)

FAMILY LIFE
This year we updated our religion curriculum by purchasing the new Benzinger Family Life Series. It is part of the prescribed Archdiocese religion curriculum, and it also includes child safety.
When we return after Easter Vacation and during the month of April children from K through 8 will be using the Family Life series.
MORNING DROP OFF/AFTERNOON PICK-UP
Throughout this year I have been trying to encourage you to use the morning drop off plan on the parking lot. With the Wal-Mart, the traffic on 112th has increased both in volume and speed (many times without regard for the stop signs). NO ONE SHOULD PARK ON THE EAST SIDE OF AVENUE H BECAUSE TRAFFIC IS CONGESTED AND STOPS MOVING. Please USE the safest plan to drop off children in the morning. Use the Avenue H driveway to enter and the Avenue G driveway to exit. If the children exit the cars on the passenger side they NEVER WILL BE IN FRONT OF A VEHICLE. If you do park the car to walk your children to the building, PLEASE DO NOT PARK ON THE SIDE OF THE STREET THAT THE SCHOOL IS ON.
GIVE THIS INFORMATION TO THOSE WHO DRIVE YOUR CHILDREN TO SCHOOL!
For the after school pick-up, drivers need to be cautious, as well. PLEASE DO NOT DOUBLE PARK, ESPECIALLY ON 112TH STREET; AND BE ALERT WHEN YOU PULL AWAY FROM THE CURB!
BE SAFE NOT SORRY!!!
Blessings for a Happy and Holy Easter!

MARCH NEWS 2013
TERRA NOVA TESTING
Testing for grades K-7 will be administered from March 4th through March 18th. The preparation you can help with is to be sure that the children have plenty of rest (at least 8 hours of sleep), eat three balanced meals daily and arrive at school on time. This routine sets the tone for the day so the children can start off relaxed and ready to participate. Encourage your children to listen carefully to the teacher as the directions are given and to do the best they can.
If your child misses part of the test due to illness, we will do our best to have him/her make it up. Please understand that if several sections are missed, it may be impossible to make up; and therefore, the test may not be sent in for scoring.
The students should come prepared each day with two or three sharpened number 2 pencils.
FIRST RECONCILIATION
Please pray for our second graders as they approach their First Reconciliation this month on March 2nd. They have diligently been preparing for this sacrament, as well as, for their First Holy Communion in May.
CONFIRMATION
We ask for prayers for our eighth graders. They have been preparing for the sacrament of Confirmation that will take place March 22nd. Since the beginning of this school year, they have been doing service hours, as well as, keeping up with their studies. On March 12th they will enjoy the experience of the Confirmation Retreat.
SAFETY
In the interest of safety, it is imperative that all visitors including parents and relatives of students enter and exit the school through the main door. ALL visitors MUST sign in and out in the main office. This procedure will be followed even when children are entering at 7:55 a.m. and leaving at 3:00 p.m. If you need to help children bring item into school, you MUST use the main office door. When the faculty is at the doors, their priority is tending to the children. Therefore, they cannot give full attention to adults wanting to enter the building. I am sure you understand the necessity of us knowing who is in the building and where visitors are at all times.
GIVECENTRAL
Recently more families are using the GiveCentral.org website. We are happy to see that it is an added accommodation. When using GiveCentral for tuition payments, please print the confirmation page with the transaction number and send it to the school office as soon as you make a payment. Sometimes it takes more than 3 days to post online, and the delayed posting may make your payment late. If we have your confirmation, it will avoid mix-ups.

PANCAKE BREAKFAST
Many thanks to the entire Family and School Committee, their families and all those (including volunteer high school students) who cooked, served and helped to make this year’s Pancake Breakfast on November 18th a success. The food was delicious, the decorations and atmosphere were terrific and the company was pleasant. Our thanks also to the 325 guests who came to enjoy the event! Everyone’s hard work brought a profit of $1,025.00 to the school. THANK YOU!
ANNUAL CHRISTMAS PROGRAM—TUESDAY, DECEMBER 18TH—7:00 P.M.
Parents/guardians, grandparents, family and friends are all invited to join us for an evening of musical delight. Our children and teachers are working very hard to present our Christmas Program. The school children, Pre-K—8, should wear “Sunday Best” clothing—red and/or green or Holiday dress. If a grade needs to wear something special, the teachers will inform the families. On December 18th the children should be in Church by 6:45 p.m. They are to leave their coats with their families. The children will be sitting with their classes until the end of the program.
INCLEMENT WEATHER
We are in the season of unpredictable weather conditions. Please listen to the weather reports on radio and TV. We will also use the School Reach phone system. That is why we need accurate phone numbers; please notify the school if you change your phone number. Children should dress appropriately for the weather.
Throughout this year I have been trying to encourage you to use the morning drop off plan on the parking lot. With the Wal-Mart, the traffic on 112th has increased both in volume and speed (many times without regard for the stop signs). Traffic will probably get heavier as Christmas gets closer. When the snow arrives, the parking lot will be plowed and the snow will be heaped along 112th and Avenue H making it very difficult to walk or climb through. Paths will be cleaned for the ease of walking to the building. The paths will be from the drop off lanes to the school doors. NO ONE SHOULD PARK ON THE EAST SIDE OF AVENUE H BECAUSE TRAFFIC IS CONGESTED AND STOPS MOVING. Please USE the safest plan to drop off children in the morning. Use the Avenue H driveway to enter and the Avenue G driveway to exit. If the children exit the cars on the passenger side they NEVER WILL BE IN FRONT OF A VEHICLE.

SUPER DABBER BINGO—SUN. 10/7/12
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. Another good reason is that all proceeds from Bingo go directly to the school and help to keep your tuition cost down. Doors open at 12:30 p.m. Dinner is served at 2:00 p.m. Bingo games begin at 3:30 p.m. The Bingo committee is waiting to serve you! Have a great time! For tickets call Rosa Flores at (773) 575-7805.
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.
