Just a few notes for today…

Planet Fitness – please bring your gym clothes every M-W-F, even though you may not be scheduled to go.  This way if there is an opportunity because of another students absence, or a cancellation of a job site, etc. you can fill in.

Weekend Activities –  will begin October 22nd.  Our first activity will be a movie and we will be going to the new theater at Southland Mall. (Specific details will be announced closer to the date when movie times are released)  For those of you who are new to Weekend Activities, we do have some guidelines.  Students are invited to go on the activities based on attendance and behavior.  It is something we want everyone to be able to do, but we realize that might not always be possible.  Not every activity will be suitable for every student, but there will be something that every student can attend throughout the year.  Ms. Cote and I volunteer our time to do this, and we enjoy it very much, but since we supervise the activities by ourselves, we do have strict guidelines as follows:

• Students who need 1:1 supervision  are welcome to come, but need to have a family member or guardian or caretaker with them, and they must be over the age of 18.
• Please check in with either Ms. Cote or myself when dropping students off at an activity.  We are not responsible for students who are dropped off without our knowledge
• Families are responsible for sending the correct amount of money needed for the activity
• Students must be picked up on time, not more than 15 minutes late, or they will not be invited to the next activity
• This is a class activity,  no siblings, relatives, friends, etc.
• Parents should not stay, unless requested
• Students must complete the corresponding homework assignment after the activity

Special Olympics – A new Dearborn Special Olympic team has formed and flyers are going home today for any student who is not already participating.  Ms. Lica is the coordinator  of the Metro Allstars and has asked us to send home flyers only to those who are not currently members of the other team.  I encourage anyone who is not currently participating to join either team as they provide wonderful activities for our students.

Have a great weekend!
