BoxTops For Education Help Kerr!

Help our school earn money through the Box Tops 4 Education program, simply cut the coupons off of the product boxes and send in a Ziploc with your student. They can be dropped off in the student store at lunch or in the front office or in any red and black box with the Box Tops logo around campus or in classrooms.  It’s not just on cereal boxes… you can find them on the bottom of Kleenex products, Avery paper products, anything “Betty Crocker”… you’d be surprised where you see them once you start looking.  See Schoolloop for more information and a complete list of products that qualify.  Also, if you do any on-line shopping and are willing to go through the BoxTops portal , they will donate up to 15% of your purchase price to the school also.  Do you send flowers for Valentines or Mother’s Day? Or do you order those on-line personalized picture calendars for the relatives?  This is a free and easy way to get money for our school. Just visit http://www.boxtops4education.com/Default.aspx to see all the ways you can help earn money for the school.  Click on “Earn” and “Shop Marketplace” or just sign up for email newsletters that will keep you up to date on all sorts of ways to help out.  You can even sign up for Tostino's 250,000 BoxTops giveaway!  Each emblem is worth $.10 to the school.  We know it doesn’t sound like much, but last year we made $784 for the school and that was the first year Kerr Booster had EVER collected BoxTops.  This year our goal is $1800.  Booster is setting up a laddered goal for collecting Box Tops this year.  Each milestone reached will bring something special to the kids at the end of the year.  Please ask your students about it and help support Kerr.

Budget Watch

 

To Parents and Other School Stakeholders,  

 

The governor's proposed budget has dire implications for public education, and specifically, for the Elk Grove Unified School District. If the proposed budget is signed, it will necessitate substantial economic cuts to the Elk Grove Unified School District budget over the next three years. If you have ideas or suggestions about how the District should prioritize budget cuts, please feel free to make suggestions or recommendations on Budget Watch on the District's website.

 

If you have other ideas or suggestions, the district encourages you to submit your ideas through the Budget Watch suggestion box.

Early Dismissals & Campus Visits

 Parents please be prepared to show your drivers license or other valid photo I.D. when picking your student up early from school or when visiting our campus. When students are released from school early they must be picked up by an adult who is listed as a parent, guardian or emergency contact unless other arrangements have been made with an administrator or the office staff.

 

Also, all visitors on campus will be required to enter through the administration office to sign in, have their identification verified and then they will receive a visitor sticker to enter campus.
