November 30, 2011 I hope everyone is coping with the cold weather. It seems that our luck with unusually warm weather has run out and we are now in the grips of winter’s usual cold. Please remember to make sure your child dresses appropriately for the cold weather. You are receiving the December calendar on the back side of this note. Please be sure to review the calendar for the different color days as the month progresses. There will be an LSC Meeting on Thursday, December 8, 2011. Please feel free to attend. Please make it a point to stop by the local library and check on the status of their hours. If you are unhappy with the proposed hours or the talk of closing your neighborhood library you need to contact Alderman Lane’s office at (773)471-1991. Don’t let the city close such a valuable resource. Have a great December and try to stay warm. * * * Estimado Padre o Tutor,
Espero que
todos estén sobrellevando el frío. Parece que nuestra buena suerte con
clima inusualmente cálido se ha terminado y ahora estamos en las garras
del frío habitual de invierno. Por favor, asegúrese de que su hijo se
vista apropiadamente para este clima frío.
Sincerely/Atentamente,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I would like to congratulate all the parents that attended Report Card Pick Up night. We had 91% attendance. Remember to encourage your child to always do their best on every assignment. Good work habits are learned early. The more we teach when they are young the more they will prosper as they grow. There is no school this Thursday and Friday, November 24th and 25th. There is no SES this Wednesday, November 23, 2011. This Thanksgiving I am extremely thankful to all the parents for all they do for Durkin Park Elementary. The fantastic Fiesta Fundraiser put on this past Friday was another example of how much the parents do for the school and how big a part they play in our Durkin Park family. The Scholastic Book Fair has been run by parents all week and the parent volunteers who work in the school during the week are all examples of the bond between school and home. I want to personally thank the hardworking parents and the hardworking Parent Committees for doing so much for Durkin Park. Have a great weekend and a great Thanksgiving
Holiday. *

Dear Parent/Guardian, The Parent Advisory Committee and the safety Patrol Staff have made some changes to the drop off procedures. Since the weather has gotten colder, students won’t be lining up outside. The new procedure is as follows: 1 – All students should be dropped off in the front of the school at the main entrance on the East side of Kolin. They should enter through the main entrance and then proceed to their designated areas. Hall monitors will help them if they should need guidance on where they should report. 2 – Enter Kolin at 85th Street and drive North towards 84th Street. Please do not drive South when dropping off students. We are trying to create a one way traffic flow to move things along more quickly. Students should exit the vehicle on the East curb side of Kolin. 3 - All vehicles should remain in a single file line when stopping to let children out. Please do not go around the cars in front of you. If everyone stops for only a moment and then leaves the traffic should move quickly. 4 – Leave room for the school bus that brings students to school every morning. If you see the bus coming do not stop in that space. 5 – Make sure your child has safely left the vehicle before you pull away from the curb. There have been some near accidents when a child hasn’t stepped away from the car or has dropped something on the ground. 6 – The parking restrictions remain the same. From 8:30 – 9:00 there is no parking on 84th and Kolin and on the North side of 85th Street, East of Kolin. These restrictions help to maintain the traffic flow in the mornings. Only residents of Kolin are allowed to park on this block. Teachers and staff have special permits for parking. Do not park in the teacher’s parking lot. We appreciate everyone who is respectful and cooperative with the patrol guards and the parent volunteers. Our goal is to keep all our children safe as they come to school. We must continue to work together to reach this goal. The PAC is still in need of more volunteers to patrol around the mobile classrooms in the rear of the school. It only takes twenty minutes before or after school to walk around the buildings making sure our students are safe. If you are interested in helping, please leave your name and phone number in the office.
Sincerely, *

* Estimado Padre o Tutor, El Comité Asesor de Padres (PAC) y los miembros de la Patrulla De Seguridad han hecho algunos cambios a los procedimientos de la hora de entrada. Debido a que la temperatura se ha puesto muy fría, los estudiantes no se formaran afuera. El nuevo procedimiento es el siguiente: 1 -
Todos los estudiantes deben ser dejados en el frente de la escuela en la
entrada principal por el lado este de la Calle Kolin. Deberán
entrar por la entrada principal y proceder a sus áreas designadas. Los
monitores de los pasillos les ayudarán si necesitan orientación.
Atentamente,
