Interview Process and Window Replacement

Dear parents,
Today each student is bringing home an interview time sign-up sheet. Interviews are being scheduled for next Wednesday and Thursday, and I have made myself available on Tuesday in case the other days are very busy. Please circle your top 3 choices and return the form to me ASAP (by Friday latest). I will let you know your final time as soon as receive all forms. Sorry about the quick turn around on this one!
Please note that many of our interviews will need to take place in a different room, as our daycare runs out of our classroom until 6pm every day. Please look closely at your interview confirmation slip, when you receive it, to see where we are meeting. The interview slots are 10 minutes. I realize that this is very little time. If we find we have more to talk about, we can always schedule a follow-up meeting at another time. Dominique and I are happy to meet with you anytime throughout the year.
Tomorrow, I will send home an additional letter from the office regarding interviews. It also includes an interview sign-up, however you can disregard and just use the one I sent home today.

You have probably noticed that Dewson's windows are being replaced. A much needed and very exciting improvement, and it's finally our turn!!
For the next 2 days (Wednesday-Thursday), we will be using room 115 while our windows are replaced. If you are dropping off late, or picking up early, this is likely where we'll be. Of course, our daycare will also be dislocated, and they will leave a note on our door to let you know where to go.

Finally, the other note in the pochette today is to let you know about the English book fair, which will take place next week. It will be in the library and will stay open late during Thursday interviews. I told our students about the little-known draw that takes place during the book fair. Students who return the small rectangle cut-out from the back of the pamphlet have a chance to win $25 worth of books for themselves and our classroom. Let's all enter the draw!!

See you soon,
Tamara
