SCHOOL BOARD OPENINGS!

Crested Butte Board of DirectorsParadise Place is looking for a few good men & women to help on our board.

What it IS:
1) An easy way to contribute to something so much bigger than our normal day in – day out routines; the growth of preschool aged children as they learn everything from language acquisition, cooperative social interaction, and testing out their place in the world, to the academic foundations of math, science, reading, and writing that give them solid footing heading into kindergarten and beyond.
2) Opportunity to fulfill the parent hour requirements in a way that has longlasting
and invaluable returns for their time and effort.
3) A chance to help when help is needed.
4) A free drop in day a quarter

And with that in mind, here are a few things being a PP Board Member is NOT :

1) an obligation to attend and participate in every fundraiser all year long
2) an additional financial commitment
3) an obligation to be a “jack of all trades”- we’re are wanting people to help
where they can and feel they are a good fit.

President – responsible to lead and attend meetings, meet with Mr. Ben
periodically, Director reviews
Vice- President – attend meetings, step in for P. when P. not available
Secretary – responsible to attend meetings and take minutes
Treasurer- responsible to attend meetings, keep financial records
P.R. – person(s) to hang posters, edit newspaper editorials, get info to
KBUT, attend meetings
Fundraising – person(s) to brainstorm and execute fundraisers. (If a group
of people want to take this one on and each head up just one fundraiser a
year, that works too)
Building and Grounds – attend meetings, work with Mr. Ben on issues
related to the structural needs of the school building and grounds

Please feel free to contact Mr. Ben or Laurel Marr,  laurel@genesisrawfood.com if you have any questions. Also fell free to let us know if you would like to attend a meeting to get a feel for things.

NEW Attendance Policy

Crested Butte School AttendanceAs the summer 2011 term begins here at Paradise Place, we are implementing a new attendance policy. This will hopefully make it easier on you, the teachers and office. Please take a minute to read the new policy and don’t hesitate to ask any questions.

Absences and Make-Ups

  • There is no limit on how many make-up days your child can accrue.  However, these days must be earned by calling the school @ 349-1832 by 9:00 a.m. with notification of your child’s absence to their teacher.  If no notification of absence is given, no make up day will be earned.
  • Make-ups are One for one (i.e. – AM for an AM, FULL for FULL) no splitting of FULL for two AM’s or two AM’s for a FULL.  Make-up days may be used, space available, on any day other than at Christmas enrollment.
  • Teachers do not track make-ups days.  You do need to ask teachers if there is space available in a class for the day you would like to use a make-up, but you need to check with the office to verify how many make-up days your child actually has.
  • Make-up days used in advance (i.e.-We’re going on vacation next month, but I want to use those days now) must be OK’d by the office first with dates of the future absences.  Extra days attended will be billed the following month if no absences occur to absorb them.
  • Make-up days are not transferable to another student and expire at the end of each program.
  • Full-time students are charged $2 per day less, because they cannot use make-up days.
