  1. On Tuesday and Wednesday, Nov. 4 (election day) and Nov. 5 we 
will be offering the second set of Exit Exams for the school year. 
This test will be for juniors and seniors who have not yet taken the 
test or who are retaking a portion.  This is a stressful, high stakes 
exam imposed by the state of California.  One way we can support our 
students is  by providing a calm and orderly check in process-with 
your help.

We are expecting between 200 and 300 students to take them exam  I am 
looking for  five or six parents each morning from 7:30 to 9 to help 
with the check in process.  Then I need one parent each morning from 
9 to 11:30 and one from 12:15 to 2.  (four in all).  Please let me 
know as soon as possible if you can come help.

2. The Spirit Rally is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 7.  Kids plan all 
year round for Spirit Week and it IS a lot of fun; it is also a lot 
of work for our staff who are responsible for the safety and 
well-being of our students. One of the most challenging moments of 
the week is shepherding everyone onto the field in a timely fashion 
for the Spirit Rally and for this it would be helpful to have ten or 
twelve parent volunteers check wristbands and direct students to 
their appropriate cheering section from 1:30 to 3:30. If you can 
help, please contact me.

  3. Finally, on Friday, Oct. 31 the PTSA newsletter will be mailed 
from 8:30 to 11:30 in Conference Room B. . Mailing parties are always 
fun-and one on Halloween? A no brainer!  Please watch the etree for 
more detailed information.  But, meanwhile, put the day on your 
calendar.
