 Dear Parents:

 

Onekama Schools has recently implemented a new software system called Alert Now.  This program will allow the school to notify all Onekama School families of school closures or delays.  Currently we are notifying parents via home phone numbers.  Next year we will expand the capabilities to notify via cell phones, work phones, texts and or e-mail. 

 

We will be testing this new system on Sunday, February 21^st.  The school will be calling your house in the afternoon around 2:00pm.  We are doing this test to determine if our parent database is up-to-date.  If you receive the call on Sunday you do not need to do anything.  If you DO NOT receive a call on Sunday please notify the Student Services office so we can update your personal information.

 

Thank You,

BOX TOP CONTEST

LABEL WARS – January 11 – March 22, 2010

• We will be starting a new contest for Box Tops which will work like penny wars.

• Each grade will have a see-through container in the office to collect box tops in. 

• Each Box Top for Education label (see above) will be worth 10 points

• Students will be able to sabotage other grades by placing Campbell soup\Tyson label or Spartan UPC codes in their competitor’s containers which will count against them.  (see photos below)                

• Campbell soup will be worth the face value

• Spartan UPC codes will be worth 1 point each

• Tyson labels will be worth 1 point each

• If you find Bonus labels, they will be worth face value (Sometimes on back of register receipts or larger boxes).

• We will count on Monday morning and let teachers know if their class has been sabotaged.  Numbers will be posted on a poster in the hallway.

• The final week, the boxes will be emptied and no more numbers will be posted, allowing the children to sabotage blindly (based on the numbers they already have and what they can see in the containers.)

 

WINNING GRADE WILL WIN AN ICE CREAM PARTY
