NEWSLETTER: August 21, 2015 Early Childhood Education

A Message from Anaheim Hills FPA President

Dear Pre-School and Pre-Kindergarten parents,
Welcome back to school! The Fairmont Parent Association (FPA) has two reserved parking spots in the front parking lot and four reserved parking spots in the east parking lot that we auction during Fairmont's open house to help raise money for FPA sponsored events. The winning bid for each parking spot allows the winner to hold that reserved parking spot for the entire 2015-2016 school year. Money raised from the event goes towards the Fall Festival, Teacher Appreciation, Family Movie Night, and other events. The FPA also raises money for specific action items to benefit Fairmont Private School's specials programs. Money raised by the FPA has contributed to the science lab, music program, art program, physical education, and our wonderful library.
Amid all the hustle and bustle of room parties, school performances, drop off in the morning, pick up in the afternoon, wouldn't it be nice to have a reserved parking spot with your name on it in close proximity to the campus’ gate entrance? There are two spots to be auctioned off in the front pre-school parking lot available to any enrolled pre-school or pre-kindergarten family.
The auction will be silent and blind. What does this mean? Submit your bid on the FPA bid form (forms can be found in the front office) with your contact information and bid amount and drop in the secure FPA mailbox in the front hallway.
The starting bid for each spot is $300.00 (historically these spots "sell" for $500-$600). The highest two bids above $300.00 submitted into the FPA mailbox by Thursday, August 27th will be the winning bids and will secure the two reserved parking spots for the entire 2015-2016 school year. The bids can be in any increment and you can bid as often as you like. The highest bid amount for any of your submissions will be the bid considered. Please understand this auction is completely voluntary and you are obligating yourself to commit to pay the amount you bid should your bid amount be the winning bid. To be a valid bid, your child must be enrolled in preschool or pre-kindergarten and the bid must have your name, current phone number, and the bid amount at or above $300.00 on your submission. Bidding starts immediately and the deadline is the end of the school day (6:00pm) on Thursday, August 27th. In the event of a tie, the tied bid submissions will go into a drawing.
I will notify the winning bidders on Friday, August 28th and the winner will be announced at our Family Movie Night that evening. If you have any questions please let me know, or ask any FPA board member. We are so excited for this 2015-2016 school year and appreciate all the support from all our Fairmont families.
Good luck and happy bidding!

NEWSLETTER: August 21, 2015 News & Announcements


Improved Newsletter Layout & Design
Just as our campuses have been polished and refreshed for the new school year, so, too, have our weekly newsletters. We've simplified the layout for easier navigation and incorporated a more modern design. At the top, you'll find a "Photo of the Week," as well as a side navigation bar pointing you to each section of the newsletter, as well as our social media sites. New sections may appear from week to week, including "Early Childhood Education," which shows off the progress of our youngest students, "Husky Highlight" featuring exciting, relevant Fairmont Prep news, and "Director's Message" from your Campus Director or other administrators. Each section includes a "Read More" link - just in case they happen to "go long."
You will still find links to monthly lunch menus, campus calendars, athletic schedules and results, blog posts, pins of the week, and campus videos. Lastly, as we know, everyone loves photos of their students in action. We've created a Photo Gallery along the bottom of the newsletter, featuring links to the three most recent school events we've shared via Facebook and Flickr.
Of course, for the most recent photos, news, and information on all things Fairmont, visit www.fairmontschools.com or www.fairmontprepacademy.com and "follow," "like," and "subscribe" to our official Fairmont Private Schools social media pages.Hope you enjoy the changes.

Afterschool Pick Up Changes
There will no longer be a pickup area by the fifth and sixth grade classrooms. All fifth graders will be picked up on the grassy area on the north side of the street. All sixth graders with brothers and sisters will be picked up on the grassy area on the north side of the street as well. All sixth graders without siblings will be picked up on the south side of the street by the pool.

New Afterschool Sign Out Procedures
In an effort to minimize disruption to the students in Homework Club and to make the time in Homework Club as productive as possible, we will now have a sign out table located inside the gate by the library entrance. Upon arrival to school to pick up your student, please go to the table and a Student Services member will call Homework Club to call for your student. The Homework Club teacher will send your student and his/her belongings to meet you at the pick up table. This table will remain in this location until 5:30pm for parents picking up students on extended day. After 5:30pm, please go through the front office to pick up your student.
