The snack sign up sheet with the clean up helper is ready and posted at the schools bulletin board. Parents are asked to sign up for snack and clean up at least twice throughout the year. If you are a parent with two to three children, please sign up maybe three times. If you have signed up and will not be at Latvian School that day, you are required to find your own replacement. Parents can be contacted by email (see sender list in address bar) or via the telephone.

Please note: this year we have students with food allergies. NO OATS and NO BERRIES. Grapes are okay.

This year snack time will be at 11:45. Responsibilities are to have the snack ready and juices poured by 11:45. If you need help, please ask the assistance of the person who is helping (dezure). If you need to bake anything, please get pans from the store room before classes begin to not disturb the class in session. Pour juices for the pre-schoolers and place them on a tray for the teacher to pick up. Monitor the amount of food a student takes, if needed. Wash all dishes, dry them and return them where they were.

The helper will monitor to make sure students sit at the first two to three tables in the hall. Sitting throughout the hall is not permitted. Other responsibilities are to be sure students do not misbehave too much, and that they are speaking Latvian. After snack is over, the helper wipes down the tables where students sit, wipe down chairs (from crumbs), sweep the floor, mop if anything was spilled, and straighten up the hall.

A note for all parents: if you are socializing, please be sure to encourage students to speak Latvian and help them if they forget any words.

This year our school day will be longer. We will start the day at 9:00 and end at 12:40. This will give more time for teachers to teach, and more time for folk dancing and rehearsal for plays.

This year school tuition will be raised. Those who are members of the Minneapolis/St. Paul Latvian Ev. Luth. Church will have a decreased tuition. Laila should have the details next Saturday.

The school website can be found at www.mndraudze.org/skola

On the website you will find the school calendar, snack and helper list and other information.

A copy of the parent agreement was passed out every parent. The agreement states that as parents we will speak to our child/ren Latvian at home, read to them in Latvian, and encourage them to speak with you in Latvian. We will have agreements for all parents if someone missed the meeting this Saturday.

Every student will be given a folder. In the folder will be a copy of the parent agreement, schools calendar, homework assignments. Parents should sign off that homework has been completed. If a child will not be at school, please contact your teacher as soon as possible.

Throughout the year the children will be asked to participate at Sunday church services. These would be Latvia’s Independence Day, November 18, (this year Nov. 16th), Christmas celebration, School Open House, Palm Sunday, Mother’s Day, and 14. June commemoration. Children may be greeters or they may be asked to participate in the service.

Our first big celebrations where we need all parents cooperation will be Martini, November 1st, and the Christmas celebration on December 14.

Parent meetings will be held every month on the second Saturday. The next meeting will be October 11.

Lets all work together to make it a great year.
