Kindergarten registration will begin May 2nd. If you know of neighbors with children who will be 5
by September 1, 2005, please encourage them to call the school office and find out about
kindergarten registration! The orientation and tour will be held Thursday, May 12th.
Take Our Sons & Daughters to Work Day
April 28th is the designated date for "Take Our Sons and Daughters to Work". The guidelines
(aligned with MS Foundation's recommended age group) for Leon County Schools will allow
participation in grades 3-8. Schools must receive a pre-approved letter from the parent and/or
guardian indicating the student's participation. The employee must provide the school with a
written statement on company letterhead verifying the student's attendance. Please note these are
two separate letters. The first letter must be sent before April 28th and the second letter will need
to be brought in on April 29th.
Orientation for Rising 6th Graders
Our current fifth grade students are scheduled to attend sixth grade orientation at Griffin (the
feeder middle school for Canopy Oaks) on Monday, April 25th at 10:00 am. A permission slip
went home with all fifth grade students this week. Please fill it out and return these slips by
Friday, April 15th so your child may attend the orientation. Please know if you wish for your child
to attend a different orientation at a different middle school, it will be the parents responsibility to
arrange transportation and attendance. We will post dates and times for other 6th grade
orientations, as we receive them, in our Important Dates section of the newsletter.

Nutrition Tip of the Week:
Protect your heart: Limit red meat, salt and fatty foods to keep your heart healthy and arteries clog
free.
Physical Activity Tip of the Week:
Find the Fit: It's easy to fit physical activities into your daily routine. Walk, bike or jog to see your
friends. Take a 10 minute activity break every hour while you read, do homework or watch TV.
Climb stairs instead of taking an escalator or elevator. Try to do these things for a total of 30
minutes every day.
