Caraway Principal's Newsletter
October 2, 2016
Hello,
We are partnering with BrightBytes, an educational data analytics company, in order to learn more about our students’ school and home technology use for learning. We are reaching out to ask you to take part in our questionnaire.
Your participation is essential in helping us form a more complete picture of technology use for learning in our students’ lives. Please know that all of your responses will remain anonymous to protect your privacy and they will help your child's school choose the right technology for their classrooms. It will take approximately 5 minutes to complete.
The last day to complete this questionnaire is Monday, October 10, 2016.
Please go to www.BByt.es/BD7PP
Thank you for taking part in this important initiative!
Sincerely,
Katrina Bailey, Principal

Parent Volunteer Applications
Free Flu Clinic- October 6
Our school has teamed up with Healthy Schools, to offer your child no-cost Flu injection…Regardless of your health insurance coverage. We’ve made it as convenient as possible to safeguard your child against the flu this season. Be on the look out for your child to bring home their consent form. All you have to do is fill it out, and have your child return it to school by September 26th. We take care of the rest- and there’s no cost involved. The Healthy Schools team will be at our school vaccinating students October 6th.
