DIRECTV4SCHOOLS FUNDRAISING PROGRAM

 

With the news that Eaglevision will no longer be serving our community, the school district researched options for cable and/or satellite service to the school.  We found that DIRECTV had a free service provided for schools and we have started the process to receive those services.  In addition, Brashear High School has enrolled in the DIRECTV4Schools fundraising program for the 2007-08 school year.  Through DIRECTV4Schools, our school will receive a cash contribution for every new ($100), existing or returning ($50) DIRECTV customer who commits to a year of DIRECTV satellite television service using our school code.

 

We will be receiving our school code in the next day or two, so feel free to call in and request that code if you are a DIRECTV customer or might choose DIRECTV in the future.  We will also be sending out letters with our students next week that will list the code. 

 

To participate, simply call 1-888-388-4724, use our school code and sign up for DIRECTV.  With the help of families like yours, DIRECTV4Schools is an easy way for us to raise the funds we need for the special programs, equipment, and events that enrich our students' learning experiences.

 

For more information on this program, please visit www.directv4schools.com.

 

KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION

 

We will be conducting our annual Kindergarten registration on Monday, April 28, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the elementary school.  All district children who will be 5 years old prior to August 1, 2008 are eligible to register for Kindergarten for the 2008-2009 school year.  Please plan to bring your child’s birth certificate and immunization records with you on that day.

 

JOB SHADOWING

 

In February and March all students in grades 5, 7, and 10 were able to job shadow someone in a job they are interested in.  We appreciate all the local businesses who helped us in this endeavor.  It is a very important activity in our students career development as they begin to explore and see what kinds of careers they are interested in for their future.

 

APRIL ELECTION

 

Tuesday, April 8, 2008 is Election Day.  Patrons of the Adair County R-II School District will be voting to elect three school board members.

 

This year we have had four candidates file for the three available positions.  Those who have filed include incumbent Traci Hill, incumbent Douglas Clarkson, incumbent Curtis Gordon, and Shelley Story.

 

TESTING BEGINS

 

Testing begins for the high school on Monday, March 31 and runs through Thursday, April 3. For elementary, the dates are April 14-24.  Please help us with this process by ensuring that your student is here each day of testing.  You can also help by providing a good breakfast and ensuring they get a good nights sleep during this time.  Please try not to schedule appointments during this time.  If it becomes unavoidable, please let the school know as soon as you can about any absences so testing can be rescheduled for your student.
