Principal Fried to Chávez Parents and Staff

February 1, 2002

Dear Chávez Families and Staff:

This has been a busy week. We are looking forward to our music program for second and third graders on 2/5 at 6:30 right here at our school - Chávez ! Here are some this week's happenings:

We have moved computers, printers and some furniture from Chávez to our classrooms at our host schools. Most classrooms will have computers by the beginning of next week.
We are moving Ms. McGaw's 4th grade class at Thoreau into a classroom. Again, we are indebted to the Thoreau staff who will be giving up their staff work area.
We have moved the student desks from the 5th and 4/5 classes at Chávez for our students who are John Muir. The students were really excited about getting their desks back. They were almost "like kids in a candy store."
The first and second grade teachers and the other staff that work in the vicinity of those rooms have been able to go back into their rooms to retrieve materials.
We are currently emptying the containers that have been in the back parking lot and putting the contents in the gym so teachers will be able to get their materials.
We are also working on a system that would allow students to go through their desks to get to their belongings and past work. This would affect the 2/3, 3rd and 4th grade classes. The 5th grade already has their desks and the kindergarten, 1st, & 2nd grade students do not use desks. What we will most likely do is hold the buses in the morning back for about 1/2 hour to allow students to go through their desks. If you as a parent need to get at a desk please contact me.
Remember the Winter Musical is on for kindergarten, 2nd, and 3rd, graders. It will be this coming Tuesday, 2/5 at 6:30 right here in the commons area.
If you need to reach me my office phone is 442-2006, cell 220-2947, home 274-5695.

Sincerely,
Howard Fried
Principal
