The December Reading Challenge Calendar is now on the website in pdf format under the "News Items" category. Also attached are the summary sheets. All calendars must be turned in with a summary sheet. Those that aren't will not count towards any reading rewards. Please make sure you use the correct summary sheet, they are explained in the news item.

Happy December! By this Friday 12/9, expect to see the new morning routine details coming home with your child. The same packet will be posted here on the website as well. After meeting with the PTO, School Council, and staff members the plan is in its final stages and just about ready to go public. So please be on the lookout that information. This plan will eliminate double parking down Connecticut Ave. as well as parking on side streets causing a very congested and unsafe street for students to cross as well as other vehicles to access for emergencies etc.

Happy November! It's hard to believe another month has come and gone. I have been very carefully studying the amount of unexcused tardies that occur each month. Unexcused basically means that a child comes to school late without a reason. I address this further in the November Mustang Messenger, which will be coming home today 11/1/11. Please give it a read and make sure you have sent in the Parent/Teacher Conference appointment papers for your child.

Welcome to the Allendale School webpage. I will post messages here from time to time. I would like to start off the year with two requests.
1. Please don't block any neighborhood driveways when dropping off your child in the morning. I have told neighbors who have called me about this issue that they should take license plate numbers and call the police if it continues. Just think if that's the kind of lesson you want to teach your child. Please be courteous of our neighbors' driveways, like you they are hardworking individuals who need to get where they need to be in the morning just as much as you and I.
2. Although I understand the thinking in walking the dog as you walk to school with your child in the morning, killing two birds with one stone, please leave the dog at home. This morning we had 4 dogs out back. We have students who are afraid of dogs, they cause students to run out of their class lines, and we have some allergies as well. Most importantly we don't know the dog and can't guarantee that it won't bite a student. So please don't bring dogs to school in the morning. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
You should be receiving the first Mustang Messenger today. It is also in pdf format under the "News Items" section to the right of this page.
