This Friday your student will bring home two new forms for parents to fill out and return to school: an Emergency Building Closure Contacts Form and a Student Registration Form. You are being asked to fill them out again, even though you submitted this information at the beginning of the year. The prior forms did not elicit the exact information needed. You can wait for the forms to come home, or download them here. In any case, please return the completed forms to school.

Hauser Junior High presents A Flea In Her Ear on Tuesday, November 18, and Wednesday, November 19, at 7:00 p.m. Admission is free, but there will be a free will offering.

Parents are needed to work backstage both evenings–6 parents per show, 2 during each act, to maintain order, help with any wardrobe malfunctions, and keep the kids quiet backstage. If you’re interested in helping, please contact Pam Liska at dlplsl@comcast.net

The PTA provides dinner for our teachers on the day of parent/teacher conferences. If anyone would be willing to help set up, clean up, or provide a dessert, please contact Kim Michl.

Although the printed school calendar says that report cards will be distributed on November 24, they will actually be sent home with students on Friday, November 21. Please remember to ask your student for the report card. Don’t forget—November 21 is an early release day.

The Family Night Committee will be meeting on Thursday, November 20, at 7:00 p.m. at the Riverside Public Library.

If you are not able to come to the meeting but would like to help, please contact Olga Andrulis.

Hauser spirit wear orders will be distributed after school in the front lobby on Tuesday, November 11, and before school on Thursday, November 13.

Picture retakes will be on Wednesday, November 12, from 7:45 to 10:30 a.m., in the Hauser auditorium. If students purchased pictures and are unhappy with them, they need to bring the original pictures to the retake session. If students didn’t have pictures taken at all, they need to come to the auditorium on November 12. Order forms are available in the Hauser office. Students are encouraged to have their pictures taken before the school day begins. (That’s why the retake session is beginning at 7:45 a.m.). If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Westin at westins@district96.org or by calling the school office.
