Photos from School:

Amiguitos has a group room for parents to view and share photos on snapfish. Email Katie for an invite.

Parent Handbook:  See our 2009-2010 handbook for useful information you can use throughout the year.

 

Jueves/Viernes Social: 

Occasionally we will host a Jueves Social and a Viernes Social.  Parents of attending children have a chance to socialize with other parents.  This means, after you drop off your child(ren), you can park and come into our lunch room for some coffee or tea and fruit...and an hour of conversation with other parents!  8:15-9:15.  Check our calendars to see if there is a Social this month!

Favor de llegar a tiempo (Please arrive on time) 

Since our students are young and we understand the need to be flexible, we give them 20 minutes to get to school (8:05/1:05 – 8:20/1:20).  However, children that arrive after 8:20/1:20 disrupt class time. It is not fair for the rest of the students who arrive on time. Thank you for your cooperation.

Volunteering 

If you have talents or skills that you would like to share with us, (or can help file artwork!) please let us know.  We have sign-up sheets at the reception desk for specific volunteer needs, and we will facilitate volunteer meetings.  You don't have to speak Spanish to share.  We will provide the translation! Occasionally, we will ask for your help with special projects (piñata making, pumpkin carving, etc.)  

  

Visiting Amiguitos!

Parents may visit Amiguitos! at any time.  The Latin culture is family-oriented and this idea extends to the school. We encourage you to join us during field trips and to celebrate special holidays with us. We will not only celebrate American, but Mexican holidays as well.  You will have the opportunity to participate in some cultural events and your ideas and comments are always welcomed.
