Welcome back, DCP – Redford!

January 11, 2019

Greetings Distinctive College Prep Families and Happy New Year!

This is  Mrs. Hibbler, your principal, with your weekly DCP-Lions News. Please take note of the following announcements:

Calendar Updates
January 21st – No School: Martin Luther King Jr. Day
January 30th – End of Quarter 2
February 4-22 –  NWEA Testing Window
February 13-14 – Parent Teacher Conferences
February 15th –  1:00 pm Dismissal
February 18-19 – President's Day Break

**Attendance**
We need our kiddos at school EVERYDAY next week so we are incentivizing attendance with a bi-weekly raffle. Your child will be eligible for the raffle just by coming to school. The more they are at school, the better chance that they have of winning! Our first raffle will be a $25 GAS CARD!!  

Parent Teacher Organization
While we are eager to begin our Redford Lions PTO, we have to change our 1st meeting date to accommodate our Good Eats for a Good Cause fundraiser. Our 1st meeting will be held after the Holiday break. . Please sign up in the office or call Mrs. Olds.

Uniforms
Does your child have their uniform?! As a reminder: All students are required to be in complete school uniform daily. PLEASE NOTE: Students out of dress code will receive parent notification of uniform violation and asked to bring them their uniform. If further violations occur consequences will escalate. Please contact me directly with any personal issues with the uniform policy.

Cold Weather Guidelines

• Above 32 degrees with or without wind chill: Recess should be held outdoors.
• Precipitation: Snowy and icy conditions will be evaluated for student safety and attire.

Preparedness: Students should have appropriate outdoor attire to stay warm and dry during recess. If you are in need of support for purchasing attire for outdoors please contact the office.

Books, Uniforms, and Coats
We are still accepting children's books to fill our school library, any book donations you can make would be appreciated. Also, if you would like to sponsor a student for purchase of a coat, uniform shirt, or backpack-it would be most appreciated.

Transportation Updates
In an effort to ensure that the office staff has adequate time to update the bus rosters each day, we are instituting a transportation change cut off time of 2:45 on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and at 11:45 on Wednesdays. This will give us 2 hours before dismissal to make all updates necessary. Please contact the main office with all changes prior to the cut off time. Your attention to this matter is appreciated.

This concludes our DCP News – Have a great day!
-Mrs. Hibbler
