1) There will be no newsletter in January. Our volunteers are working instead to get the new integrated website up and running at http://www.bretharteoakland.org.
2) To get a copy of the weekly announcements that are read to your student (with information about school activities, free dress days, etc.), please join Bobcat-connect, our community google group. One parent writes, "For me the best thing about Bobcat Connect is being kept up to date on the goings-on at our middle school. Also it is a good opportunity to be reminded about opportunities to stay involved as parents. Just my two cents." To join, reply to this email with "Join Bobcat-Connect" in the subject line.
3) If you live in area code 94619, we apologize that you did not receive the December newsletter due to a mix-up as we establish a new routine. You can read it online at http://www.bretharteoakland.org, and it will be mailed next month.
4) There are some very nice down coats in the lost and found. If your child is missing his or hers, please have him or her check the office tomorrow. Lost and found items will be donated on Friday.
5) Please bring any dress code clothing you would like to pass on to another family to the Parent Center. We have a stack of 6th-grade size clothing to give way to incoming students.
6) Open enrollment ends on January 15th. Make sure you take care to secure your child's next school if needed.
7) Most importantly, have a restful and joyous holiday with your family!
