PTA Fall Fundraiser Sept 2 - 12 Catalog Orders and Money Due Sept 12
PTA needs your support of our Fall
Fundraiser to continue providing many wonderful programs to the children
and parents at Pomerado Elementary. We are working with a local company,
Maredy, this year for our Fall Fundraiser. A Maredy gift catalog will be
going home with all students September 2nd. If you are not interested in
purchasing from the catalog, but still want to support PTA and it's
programs, direct donations are welcome and checks can be made out to
Pomerado PTA.
Pomerado Foundation's Dime-A-Day
Campaign
What is a dime worth? By itself, it cannot purchase much these days.
However, a collection of dimes adds up. The Pomerado Elementary School
Foundation is asking everyone to pledge at least a dime a day for the
number of school days (180 days) to help raise money for new technology
and necessary classroom supplies for our kids at school.

Pomerado has a newStudent
Emergency Release Plan. Please make sure that you read
the procedures, so we are all prepared in case of an emergency.
Pomerado is using a system
called ConnectED to call our families with important recorded
messages. Once in a while, when listening to a message please be aware
that the background noise at the receiving end may cause the system to
stop and restart or it may cause the message to stutter and repeat. It
is calibrated very delicately to determine whether a person or an
answering machine is responding to the ConnectED phone call. If possible
move to a quiet area, or press the “mute” button on your phone. Also, if
you missed any part of a message, please stay on the line and press “*”
(star) to hear the message again.
Please take a few minutes at home to
carefully check your child’s health before he/she leaves for school each
morning. The following are a few suggestions, which may help to guide
you:
REASONS FOR KEEPING YOUR CHILD
HOME:
Illness during the night
Fever is present (100 degrees or
greater)
Complaints of nausea, upset stomach,
vomiting, headache, diarrhea prior to leaving for school
Development of a rash on face and/or
body
Has a severe cold, cough and/or sore
throat
Has inflamed eye(s) with discharge
from them
Please Remember: An ill
child cannot function properly in the classroom. The spread of
illness and disease through class or school can be more easily monitored
if sick children remain at home during the acute stage of an illness. If
the school health tech detects any of the above, your child will be sent
home.
A student’s absence should be reported
on the School Absence Hotline by calling: 858-679-2604.
Homework can also be requested on this
phone message, please indicate when you will be picking it up.
