Dear Parent or Guardian:

We are very excited to welcome you back to Ada Merritt K-8 Center for the 2009 - 2010 school year and look forward to another year of academic achievement. Thank you for entrusting the education of your child to Ada Merritt K-8 Center. In order to ease the anxiety of the first day of school, students will be reporting directly to their homeroom classrooms as assigned. Thereafter, students will report as assigned by the homeroom teacher.

To alleviate the morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up process, we will continue with the following practices: • Drop-off begins at 7:30 am in the Circular/Parent Drop-Off Area. At that time, children should be instructed to go directly to the

cafeteria and remain there until their teacher picks them up, with the exception of the first day. • Parents may opt to park around the school and escort the children to class. • During afternoon dismissal, parents are recommended to pick-up their children in the Circular/Parent Pick-Up Area (exit doors

facing SW 4th Street) or use the Walkers’ Pick-Up Area (exit doors facing SW 3rd

Street). Parents specifically picking up children in the Circular/Parent Pick-Up Area must remain in their cars, single file and their child will be brought to them. This will ensure that traffic is continuously flowing and other parents do not have to wait for a parent to return to their car, which is blocking the flow of traffic. The form to be placed on your dashboard, is on the “Back to School Packet” is attached, in order to identify your child with the correct car, for Circular/Parent Pick-Up Area. Parents will not be allowed entrance to the building through the Circular Parent Pick Up Area during dismissal.

Please be informed that the number of students in the After School Care Program will be limited in accordance with the personnel and resources available at the school in order to provide a quality and safe program. Registration will begin as of Monday, August 10, 2009 through August 21, 2009. The hours for registration will be from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

School will begin on Monday, August 24, 2009. School hours are as follows:

Grades K - 1 8:30 am to 2:00 pm Monday through Friday Grades 2 - 8 8:30 am to 3:00 pm Monday through Friday (except on Wednesdays dismissal time is 2:00 p.m.)

Parents will be given the opportunity to meet the homeroom teacher on Friday, August 21, 2009 from 11:00 a.m. – 11:45 a.m. (for Grades K - 3), from 12:30 p.m. – 1:15 p.m. (for Grades 4 – 5), and 2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. (for Grades 6 – 8) during the “Meet & Greet” event. In addition, booths will be set up outside the Media Center during this time for parents to sign-up for the various extra curricular school activities. This will provide an opportunity for the students to meet with their new teachers and bring their supplies for the 2009-2010 school year. All students will report to their assigned homeroom teacher with the exception of our Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth graders. All middle school students will report to the cafeteria for their Meet and Greet Orientation.

Once again, breakfast will be available daily, free of charge, beginning at 7:30 a.m. through 8:10 a.m. Please be reminded that Ada Merritt K-8 Center is a peanut/nut free school. Please review the attached letters. We hope you had a wonderful summer break. We are excited to begin the year and look forward to working with you and your family. If you need any additional information, please feel free to call the Main Office at (305) 326-0791.

Dear Parents/Guardians: I wanted to take this opportunity to review the Uniform Dress Code for the 2009 – 2010 school year. Our school has a mandatory uniform dress code. The polo tops will continue to be a choice of gold, white, and navy for both boys and girls. The bottoms will continue to be khaki, to maintain schoolwide consistency. As a reminder, it still remains that no navy bottoms or plaid skirts will be included in the selection for our uniform dress code. Additionally, the Oxford shirt and the long sleeve polo are now optional to purchase.

ADA MERRITT K-8 CENTER UNIFORM DRESS CODE

GIRLS COLORS BOYS COLORS Polo White, Navy, Gold Polo White, Navy, Gold Polo Long Sleeve (Optional) Polo Long Sleeve (Optional) Oxford White (Optional) Oxford White (Optional) Shorts Khaki Shorts/Bermuda Khaki Pants Khaki Pants Khaki Skort Khaki Skirt Khaki Please remember the students are to wear their uniforms daily, with the exception on Fridays only, in which the students will be allowed to wear the approved school t-shirts with the uniform bottoms. In the event, students dress to school without their uniforms, they will be sent to the office to contact their parents to bring in the students’ uniforms and/or a donated pre-owned uniform can be provided for the day. Please assist us by ensuring your child wears his/her uniform daily. Students need to wear shoes that will be comfortable and appropriate for daily activities at our school; inclusive of physical education classes and recess. The students may not wear open-toed shoes, sandals, clogs, skeeters, or shoes with heels for their safety. The Parent Teacher Association (PTA) has established a Uniform Bank of donated, in good conditioned pre-owned uniforms. Please be informed that uniforms may be purchased from Ibiley School Uniforms, Apple Uniform Company, and other sources that carry the same bottom colors such as department stores; Target, Sears, etc. Additionally, for your convenience we have also added Lands’ End Catalog Uniform Program that may be purchased on-line. We expect our students to take pride in their daily appearance. Students should wear clean uniforms and maintain a neat appearance. Additionally, we are asking students to wear their shirts tucked-in. Thank you for your continued support, each day building together a stronger foundation for our children. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (305) 326-0791. Respectfully, Carmen M. Garcia Principal

June, 2009 Dear Parents! Saludos Padres! Prezados Pais! To our returning, as well as new Ada Merritt families, we hope your summer is off to a terrific start. Your PTA is committed to building a strong collaboration between parents/guardians, teachers, students, and school administration. This past year, through your involvement, we contributed much to our tri-lingual school community. We are about much more than fundraising! We are about building a community, celebrating the diversity of our cultures through events such as:

- International Food Festival: over 500 participants and food booths representing over 10 countries/regions, entirely manned by parent/guardian volunteers

- Hosting famed African American aviator Barrington Irving as part of our Black History Month Celebration - Festa Junina: a traditional Brazilian folk festival celebrating the harvest

We are about partnering with teachers & administration to maximize our already strong academic program:

- Funded “Mad Science” presentation for entire 5th

- Hosted a parent presentation where the Science curriculum was discussed with attending parents grade

- Purchase of string instruments to enhance our Music program - Provided thousands of dollars through teacher grants and classroom enhancement funding to help teachers

get needed resources We are about implementing programs that instill good values as well as nurturing the safety and well being of our kids:

- “Green Team”: everything from setting up recycling programs for paper and electronics, creating the term “green ranger” for our kids encouraging conservation efforts, and our incredible “Earth Day” event

- Partnering with the administration to fund and implement additional security around the school for drop off and pick up hours

- Funding “Student of the Month” recognition program that rewards the PYP attitudes

Do you see an opportunity for the PTA to contribute? Are you passionate about an issue or a new idea? Be a part of the PTA and help us in our mission to enrich our children’s experience at Ada Merritt K-8 Center. Looking forward to seeing all of you at the meet and greet on August 21st

and as part of the PTA all year long!
